From the author of The Tides of Life comes the next haunting chapter of The Beacon Manor Trilogy - a story where the past rises like the tide, and every secret demands its reckoning. After uncovering generations of deception in The Tides of Life, Sam Pendleton believes the storm has finally passed. But when a forgotten journal surfaces and a cipher of messages points to secrets long buried deep beneath the Cape Cod sand dunes, Sam and Matthew Louis find themselves pulled into a web of betrayal that stretches back to that fateful night in 1870. Beacon Manor's shadows run long, and the truth they are chasing may be far more dangerous than either of them imagined. As family loyalties fracture and history begins to repeat itself, Sam must confront not only what was lost - but what was deliberately hidden. And when the final truth surfaces, she will come to understand why some are born to keep the light, and others are bound to watch the water. Book Two of The Beacon Manor Trilogy - a sweeping tale of legacy, mystery, and the haunting power of truth along the New England coast.
