Description
A fight for survival against torrential flooding and local superstition, Emma Carroll's latest novel is a thrilling tale of survival and self-discovery. When Fortune Sharpe carves a boat from a tree with her brother, she's only having a bit of fun, but soon finds herself sent away to find work dressed as a boy. At Berrow Hall, a rich manor house with its own secrets and dangers, Fortune must navigate a treacherous web of suspicion and deceit. As the house itself seems to be a little too close to the sea, Fortune must confront the dark forces that lurk beneath its surface. With its expertly combined historical details and well-developed characters, this dramatic story is a worthwhile read for fans of historical fiction.
