A haunting tale of ancient evil and long-buried secrets in an isolated Irish community from the author of hit horror novel The Watchers.

SHE ESCAPED ONCE.
NOW IT WANTS HER BACK.

Everyone living on the island feels it. There are no visitors anymore. No children. No one willing to set foot there. Then Grace arrives.

She’s come to learn the truth about her birth parents and, in her search for answers, she soon feels the presence too – something lurking beneath the surface.

The community is secretive, but one thing is clear: they are scared for her – scared of her.
Because her arrival has awakened something they thought dead and buried.

Now, it knows she’s here. It's watching her.
And it wants to keep her.

A haunting, atmospheric modern Gothic horror tale set on a lonely isle off the Irish coast, Grace is perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Adam Nevill and Catriona Ward.
