Historically a refuge for women fleeing the hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials in the 1600s and a way station on the Underground Railroad for runaway slaves in the 1800s, the island is isolated and rumored to be haunted by spirits and . . . other things. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is to Bell Island that microbial biologist Harper Hafdóttir ventures in search of evidence of a new species of octopus, Thalassa, possibly lurking below the swirling water's surface. Along with her equipment, and her luggage, Harper carries with her the burden of past trauma and vivid, recurring dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSwept up in unexplained phenomena ranging from increased seismic activity and a boat-capsizing rogue wave to encounters with island creatures that defy explanation, Harper looks to the island's venerated if mysterious mayor for answers. Lady Loreana Bell comes from a single matriarchal line that has ruled the island for 400 years--and seems to have been expecting Harper's arrival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is within the walls of Bell Manor--its gothic grandeur matched only by the intensity of Harper's deja vu--that she discovers the 1690 journal of a young woman in the grips of a religious cult. As a tsunami threatens the island, Harper finds herself on the verge of a revelation that will ultimately unlock the mystery of her haunted dreams and disclose her true purpose on Bell Island . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.05oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496753946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathleen Kaufman \u003c\/b\u003eis the bestselling author of magical realism and feminist gothic horror novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Graves Waits Mist and Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHag\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eDiabhal\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy.
