When strange changes begin to surface around the lighthouse overlooking her town, Piper senses that something long buried is stirring again. The closer she looks, the clearer it becomes that the answers she's searching for are tied to the past-and to people who would rather keep it hidden.As whispers of old journals, unexplained signals, and unfamiliar visitors from away begin to circulate, Piper finds herself pulled into a quiet investigation that tests her instincts and her courage.

With an atmospheric tone and a steady sense of suspense, the novel invites readers into a story where what remains still may be the most dangerous thing of all.
