Klappentext

'Hannah Whitten was born to write horror! . . . Utterly brilliant'
Rachel Gillig, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Knight and the Moth

In this deliciously atmospheric horror debut from New York Times bestselling author Hannah Whitten, a grieving woman is lured to her late fiancé's remote island estate - only to uncover eerie family secrets, a haunting past, and a monstrous hunger stirring beneath the sea.

When Claire's fiancé Elias mysteriously dies of an unknown neurological illness, his estranged family invites her to a three-day wake at Harrow Point, their family home on a remote private island. Claire feels like she's being given the chance to find family again, to belong.

But something isn't right - their home stirs strange memories of the accident that killed Claire's parents, and Elias's brother seems insistent that she leave as soon as possible. As she dives deeper into the world of Harrow Point, she discover that there's something swimming in the bowels of Harrow Point, and it is hungry. But as Claire's window for escape rapidly closes, she starts to wonder, does she even want to?

'A wild ride from start to finish. If you're a fan of the type of horror that is viscerally creepy but also makes you whisper "hell yeah" under your breath, look no further! I loved every salt-drenched second'
Tori Bovalino, author of My Throat an Open Grave
