About the Book
A haunting tale of ancient evil and long-buried secrets in an isolated Irish community from the author of hit horror novel The Watchers.
Book Synopsis
A haunting, atmospheric modern Gothic horror tale based on traditional Irish mythology, from the author of smash hit The Watchers. Ancient evil is awakened on a lonely isle off the coast of Ireland.
SHE ESCAPED ONCE. NOW IT WANTS HER BACK.
Everyone living on the island feels it. There are no visitors anymore. No children. No one willing to set foot there. Then Grace arrives.
She's come to learn the truth about her birth parents and, in her search for answers, she soon feels the presence too - something lurking beneath the surface.
The community is secretive, but one thing is clear: they are scared for her - scared of her. Because her arrival has awakened something they thought dead and buried.
Now, it knows she's here. It's watching her. And it wants to keep her.
