Nora Gavin, a pathologist haunted by her sister Tríona’s brutal murder, has spent the last five years searching for justice while building a new life in Ireland. When Tríona’s husband, the prime suspect, prepares to remarry, Nora is driven to finish the investigation before more lives are harmed.
Across the border, Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire visits his ailing father and hears a local legend about a woman who vanished a century ago—possibly a seal‑maiden or something far darker. As Nora and Cormac pursue parallel mysteries, they confront hidden identities, unsettling secrets, and the question of whether their own love can survive the shadows of the past.
