In 1895, Rhoda's peaceful island life is shattered by a string of mysterious shipwrecks. As her father manages the Lifesaving Station, Rhoda suspects foul play.

Dive into this ghostly mystery where every wave whispers a hidden danger.

Rhoda’s father is the keeper of a Lifesaving Station on an island near Virginia. It’s 1895 and a series of shipwrecks begin to make Rhoda wonder why they’re happening. Is there a person who is intentionally misdirecting the ships to crash so they can be plundered? Rhoda finds out while readers are enraptured by the ghostly tale.
