From the acclaimed author of the New York Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes a chilling paranormal thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but she knows that there are countless ways for places and people to be haunted. Twelve years ago, her mother drowned at Whisper Cove, a picturesque coastal town known for its eerie legends. According to local folklore, the ghosts of an old whaling village, known as the women in the waves, lured her mother into the ocean with their haunting whispers. As they say at Whisper Cove, "What the sea wants, the sea will have."

Avril has spent the past twelve years piecing together the fragmented memories she has from the night she lost her mother. She recalls stars falling into the sea, a blinding light, and the strange sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, Avril returns to Whisper Cove as part of a summer theatre camp, hoping to finally uncover the truth about what happened to her mother.

As Avril becomes more involved with camp director Willa and her enigmatic son Cole, Whisper Cove reveals its dark secrets. Distances seem to shift in the strange fog, and echoes of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. Avril keeps encountering herself, and her deceased mother, late at night, at the edge of the ocean.

The truth Avril seeks is ready to be uncovered, but it comes at a terrible cost. As she delves deeper into the town's history and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her mother's death, Avril realizes that she is not alone in her search. Someone or something is watching her every move, and they will stop at nothing to protect the secrets of Whisper Cove.
