Salt & Light

Some secrets have consequences. His just ran away to Cornwall.

Rosamunde Carbis is Saltmere's resident sea witch-tide magic, ancient partnerships with Cornish sea spirits, and fourteen months of carefully avoiding Dr Kieran Ashworth. The academic who nearly destroyed her village. Who's spent all that time trying to prove he's changed.

Nobody knew Kieran had a child until his nine-year-old daughter appears in the village square, alone and terrified, looking for her dad.

Lily ran away from London because something underground is calling to her-old magic, angry voices, liminal spaces only she can sense. And she's not the only one hearing it. Saltmere's magical children are being marked by spriggans, grotesque Cornish spirits who guard ancient places... and steal children.

The mines beneath the village have been disturbed. The boundaries are breaking. And the spriggans want something.

Rosamunde should walk away. But watching Kieran parent with quiet desperation, seeing Lily find friends who don't think she's strange, feeling domestic routines form in the spaces between crisis-her walls are cracking faster than Saltmere's foundations.

Some partnerships start with magic. Some families are forged in crisis. And some sea witches discover that the most dangerous thing isn't the spriggans ...

It's wanting to stay.
