A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon.
Dominic
Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island
not far from Antarctica. Home to the world's largest seed bank,
Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the
Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they
are transported to safer ground. Despite the wild beauty, isolation has
taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, eighteen and suffering his first
heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, seventeen,
has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals;
nine-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved
natural world; and Dominic can't stop turning back toward the past, and
the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.
Then,
during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on
shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their
suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a
family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to
fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn't telling the whole truth about
why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged
radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own
dark secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, can they trust
each other enough to protect one another-and the precious seeds in their
care? And can they finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to
create something new, together?
A novel of heart-stopping twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us is ending.
