Soul Cycle

She never survived the crossing.Yet Bronagh Byrne wakes on a quiet shore washed in dawn light, with a cottage waiting on the hill. Inside is warmth. Food. Welcome. And a note she does not remember writing.As souls begin to arrive from different times, different lives, and different endings, Bronagh learns that the cottage is not a refuge by chance. It is a place between worlds, where souls come to rest, to heal, and to remember who they are before moving on.Some arrive whole.Some arrive broken.Some arrive unfinished.As Bronagh offers comfort, listens to their stories, and gathers the fragments they leave behind, she slowly begins to understand her own role in this place. But when two souls arrive whose presence changes the cottage itself, Bronagh must face the truth of her calling and the quiet, inevitable transformation it demands.The Cottage by the Sea is a luminous, contemplative novel about the soul, grief, love, and the spaces we pass through between one life and the next. Gentle, atmospheric, and deeply human, it invites the reader to consider what might await us when the world we know finally falls quiet.
