Kilmaraig, 1974. For fifty years, Euphemia Winters has kept a promise no one in the village knows she made.

She is the sea witch of this small Scottish fishing harbour — and beneath the channel between the headland and the skerry, something ancient is stirring. The binding her grandmother laid down half a century ago is wearing thin. The herring are running early. The seals have abandoned the skerry. And in the big house on the hill, a woman with an inherited amulet is whispering the words that will prise open a door that was never meant to be reopened.

To seal it again, Euphemia needs three voices to sing the binding against a November storm. What she has is herself, a lighthouse keeper with terrible coffee, and a herring gull with an attitude problem.

The tide is turning. The reckoning is coming. And some doors cost everything to close.

"Every morning she'd woken in the cottage on the headland and looked at the sea and thought: not today. Today the door stays shut."

About Lorna Blair

Lorna Blair lives in the wild north of Scotland, where the weather is best experienced from the inside looking out. When she isn't writing, she splits her reading time between gritty crime thrillers and sweet Highlander romances—a balance of shadows and warmth that heavily influences her own mysteries.

She recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of building her own library, which is where she spends most of her days. Lorna possesses a massive, arguably unwieldy tea collection, and finds it entirely impossible to draft a single chapter without a fresh pot steaming at her elbow.

Outside of her library, you can usually find her singing in the local community choir. She shares her home with her husband, though she promised him she wouldn’t mention him too often, as he prefers to stay well out of the spotlight.
