Only Dominic Salt and his three children remain as caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island home to the world's largest seed bank, and at risk of being lost due to rising sea levels. When a woman washes to shore during the worst storm in living memory, the family nurse her back to health, but she isn't telling the whole truth about why she is there . . .
A novel of breathtaking 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 disappears.
"At once a gripping mystery, an exquisitely written ode to the natural world, and a taut, psychological thriller, Wild Dark Shore is a triumph!" -- Hannah Kent, bestselling author of Burial Rites, The Good People, and Devotion
