Synopsis

Two lovers face a hidden peril as a fearsome storm closes in around them.

A tale of love, dark forces, and quiet courage unfolds as a man’s crisis uncovers a battle between light and shadow that only faith and devotion can fight.

In a seaside setting rich with heat and danger, Jessie stands firm as Archie's peril deepens. Their bond is tested by a foe that cannot be met with medicine or words alone, and the power of love, prayer, and steadfast nerve becomes the key to salvation.
  • A suspenseful blend of romance and the supernatural, set against turbulent weather and intense emotion.
  • A strong, proactive heroine who relies on faith and courage to confront a terrifying presence.
  • A story that explores how inner strength and devotion can confront a chilling, unseen threat.
  • A vivid atmosphere of heat, sea, and storm that heightens every moment of peril and hope.
Ideal for readers who enjoy gothic-tinged romance and supernatural suspense, where love and prayer stand against dark forces.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many of these are eminent in scientific research, and on any other subject the world in general would accept their evidence. There is possibly a larger class of persons who hold that all such communications, if genuine, come not from the dead but from the devil. This is the taught opinion of the Roman Catholic Church. A third class, far more numerous than both of these, is sure that any one who holds either of these beliefs is a dupe of conjurers, or the victim of his own disordered brain. This type of robust intellect has, during the last ten decades, affirmed that hypnotism, aviation in machines heavier than air, telepathy, wireless telegraphy, and other non-proved phenomena, are superstitious and unscientific balderdash. In an earlier century it was equally certain that the earth did not go round the sun. It is, happily, never disconcerted by the frequency with which the superstitions and impossibilities of one generation become the science of the next.
