Troubador Publishing, 2026

The day after Joe’s mother and sister died in a suspicious house fire, his father vanished without a trace. Now Joe lives with his uncle Nelson on a remote shingle spit called The Point, but he’s starting to suspect his uncle is hiding dark secrets about that terrible night. Fourteen-year-old Cassie arrives at The Point with her mentally fragile mother Sylvie, fleeing their chaotic London life. As Sylvie’s grip on reality crumbles, Cassie finds herself drawn to the mysterious Joe and his uncle Nelson, who paints mermaids but also harbours a devastating secret about Joe’s family. When Nelson reveals the shocking truth about his affair with Joe’s mother – and what really happened the night of the fire – Cassie faces an impossible choice: protect Joe from a truth that will shatter him, or risk losing the boy she’s falling for. As buried secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Joe must confront his father and uncover the real story behind his family’s tragedy. But some truths are too painful to bear, and on The Point, where the sea meets the shore, damaged souls must find their way back from the edge. A haunting tale of love, loss, and the healing power of wild places.
