The Woman in Green

From the author of Saint's Rest comes a tale of guilt, salt, and memory - a Sea gothic where the living and the drowned share one voice. It is 1840. The Merry Lass sails from Seahouses on a simple voyage to Berwick-upon-Tweed, her hold packed with lime and her crew bound by superstition. But each time the ship enters open water, the sea turns foul - and a woman in green appears on deck, singing a lullaby no man dares to answer. As storms claim the crew one by one, First Mate William Fenwick begins to suspect that the haunting is not vengeance but confession made flesh. Beneath the captain's silence lies a crime buried in salt and bone, and until it is spoken aloud, the sea will not rest. Haunting, lyrical, and steeped in northern folklore, The Woman in Green is a story of the sins that travel with us, the mothers who wait by the tide, and the peace that comes only when the truth is named.. Fans of The Essex Serpent, The Sea The Sea, and The Wreck of the Narwhal will find themselves caught between grief and grace in this gothic novella of the Northumbrian coast.
