The Lighthouse With No Sea — eBook

THE LIGHT DOESN'T SEARCH THE SEA.

IT SEARCHES YOU.

Mara Rolle returned to Blackwater Cay for one reason: sell her dead father's house, settle his debts, and leave before the island could remind her why she had stayed away for fifteen years.

Then the abandoned lighthouse came back on.

There is no keeper. No electricity reaches the tower. No one has climbed its stairs since the last keeper vanished.

The beam does not sweep the ocean.

It sweeps the island.

And wherever the light falls, people are forced inside someone else's worst memory—terror, guilt, violence, death. They see what happened. They feel it as if it were happening to them. Sometimes, when the light moves on, they do not come back alone.

The island knows what Blackwater Light is.

The fishermen know. The church knows. Mara's father knew.

No one will tell her why he spent his final years covering every window in the house, or why he left her a map marked with places where the beam had touched.

Then Mara sees a figure standing inside the lighthouse lens room.

A figure wearing her father's coat.

She gave herself ten days to sell the house, uncover the truth, and escape the past.

The light will not need that long.
