About this book

When Nora was twelve, her father tore her away from her beloved Irish coastal home, leaving her with only bitterness and the memories of Carraig Brón. Ten years later, her mother’s death pulls her back to the windswept cliffs of Ireland—a place she once called home.

But Carraig Brón has changed. Strange winds whisper her name. Her grandparents’ empty house reveals a dark family curse. The Celtic demon Balor and the sinister Sluagh, no longer mere legends, now hunt her, just as they did her gran and mother.

Caught between Declan, her childhood best friend who’s waited years to confess his feelings, and the mysterious Landon, who harbors secrets of his own, Nora must unravel the truth of her family’s past. As danger closes in, she must confront her grief and face her deepest fears—or risk losing everything.

Shadows of the Forgotten Shore is a haunting blend of romance, mystery, and supernatural horror set against the breathtaking backdrop of Ireland’s rugged coastline.
