Description
When marine biologist Harper Hafdóttir travels to fog-shrouded Bell Island to investigate a possible new species of octopus, she expects data—not dread. Isolated by history and legend, the island’s past—tied to women’s refuge, hidden routes to freedom, and a lineage of rulers—begins to surface through strange phenomena, unsettling encounters, and a growing sense that her own memories are not entirely hers. As Harper consults the enigmatic mayor of Bell Manor and uncovers a centuries-old journal linked to a religious cult, her scientific mission collides with a haunting, gothic mystery that threatens to upend everything she thought she knew about her trauma and her dreams. Blending atmospheric suspense with themes of inherited secrets, survival, and the sea’s uncanny power, this novel from Kathleen Kaufman delivers a lyrical, emotionally charged read for fans of haunting coastal mysteries and darkly romantic historical intrigue.
