Autumn Albert can see the dead – much to her annoyance.
But when her dad dies in mysterious circumstances, he’s the
one ghost who doesn’t appear.


A curious instruction in his will sends Autumn to Imber, the storm-soaked
island of his childhood: a place marked by tight-lipped
locals, strange stacks of witchstones – and even fewer ghosts.



Soon Autumn is ensnared in a dark and twisty mystery, which must
be unravelled before the sea rises up and history is doomed to
repeat itself ...
