Description

Abandoned by his neighbors after the trauma of his father’s death and his mother’s disappearance, nineteen year old Ronan spends most of his days alone sewing, watching the bay from his shop window. Enthralled with friendship offered by a handsome dock worker and trying to make sense of his feelings for Abel, the horrifying ghost of the drowned bride for whom the town is named visits him again and again, drawing closer and closer.

Is she trying to speak to him through her sewn-shut mouth? But members of the small town prove to be even more monstrous than the bride. If Rónán wants a life with Abel, he’ll have to fight for it—and the bride may be willing to help. A coming-of-age romance set in the swamps of 1890s Louisiana well flavored with Celtic and Druid rituals.  A coming-of-age romance set in the swamps of 1890s Louisiana, the first of a planned series by C. R. Fagan.
