Twilight meets The Mist in this epic romantic tale of a mysterious island and the houses who have stood for centuries to guard against the dreaded nightmare of beings waiting to strike from the oceanâs depths.
On a forgotten part of Nova Scotia, there lies an island.
On that island are Eleven Houses.
In those houses sit eleven ancient families.
And they are waitingâĻ
Mabel is one of the last surviving members of House Beuvry, one of the eleven houses on the haunted island of Weymouth. Her days, like all the other teens on the island, are spent readying her house for The Storm: a once-a-decade event that pummels the island with hurricane-level wind, water, and waves. But thatâs not all the Storm brings with itâbecause Weymouth Island is a gate between the world of the living and the dead.
When Miles Cabot arrives on Weymouth Island after the death of his mother, he realizes quickly it isnât like other placesâand Mabel Beuvry isnât like other teenagers. Thereâs an intense chemistry between Miles and Mabel that both feel, yet neither understandânor the deadly consequences that will come with it.
With the suspicious death of an island elder, a strained dynamic with her younger sister Hali, and the greatest Storm in years edging ever closer, Mabelâs life is becoming as chaotic as the weather. One thing becomes clear: if the fortified houses of Weymouth Island canât stand against the dead, then sheâand everyone she lovesâwill pay the price.
Fares Well the House Thatâs Ready.
