Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore.
Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again.
But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late―and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together.
A novel of breathtaking twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, Wild Dark ShoreWild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us disappears.

“You think you know what’s going to happen and then you’re sobbing at 1am because you couldn’t stop reading once you hit the beginning of the end. So beautifully written with a lot in it for biologists to enjoy!”
“I have been waiting months to read this book. I’m so glad I dragged it out because I knew it would be a book I’d look back and wish I could read for the first time again. I laughed and cried so much reading this. A beautiful book full of love and grief”
“I really loved this I just didnt love she ending or the slow start! But sooo beautiful and there are moments that will burrow into my brain”
“This one was weird. So many times I was going to put the book down and be done with it but plot twists kept luring me back in. Not my usual read. I liked it but I also was waiting for more at the end…idk I can’t decide”
