Description
On the remote Irish island of Beanna Dubh—where Atlantic winds batter jagged cliffs and thousands of crows circle like omens—an outsider must survive both ancient superstition and the island’s unforgiving church rule. After a lifetime of exile from her Glasgow past, an eccentric painter discovers the body of a young priest marked with a diabolical symbol, and the crows’ sudden silence gives way to whispers that only she can hear. As suspicion turns toward her and mass hysteria spreads, she clings to the only thing that feels real: the safety of four girls she has taken under her wing, even as their midnight rituals hint at darker truths. Blending modern gothic dread with psychological suspense, this hypnotic thriller explores guilt, inherited fear, and the thin line between protection and complicity—written in a propulsive, atmospheric style that will delight readers of Simone St. James, Eve Chase, and Jennifer McMahon.
