Description
Dr. Jo Ness would rather study jellyfish than people—until a long-dormant connection pulls her back into the world when Nadia, a former lifeline, begs for help with a glowing “giant” terrorizing a small island off the coast of Maine. Racing to Shattering Point, Jo finds no clear answers—only conflicting island stories about a creature the locals have named Clementine, a sea monster that seems to affect everyone who encounters it. As Jo investigates the mystery, she’s forced to confront grief, guilt, and the fragile ways communities survive fear, myth, and longing. Blending classic sea-monster wonder with a sharply human emotional core, this richly imagined debut explores themes of connection, memory, and the stories we tell to make the unknown bearable.
