Description
On a sun-bleached island, two sisters live in an abandoned hotel beside a poisoned sea. Their parents raised them there to keep them safe, to make them good. But when three strangers wash ashore, their lives are forever changed.
The world beyond the water is contaminated, and men are seen as a threat. Yet, these newcomers bring trouble and stir up long-dormant desires within the sisters. As the boundaries between safety and danger blur, the girls must confront the harsh realities of their isolated world.
This gripping debut novel weaves together elements of fantasy, psychological suspense, and feminist fable to create a haunting and unsettling tale that lingers long after the final page.
