The Devil and the Loch Ard Gorge

Coming April 21, 2027!

Inspired by the true tragedy of the Loch Ard shipwreck and the haunted Loch Ard Gorge, comes a haunting new Australian Gothic from award-winning author, Leanbh Pearson.

In this chilling tale, Seána yearns for one thing: to marry the man she loves. But when she prays for her heart’s desire, it is a shadowy presence that answers her call. And every wish comes at a price. As tragedy takes hold of her life, Seána becomes desperate to escape the promise she has made. Fleeing across the oceans, she hopes to leave the darkness behind, but some bargains cannot be broken, and some shadows follow wherever you go. From the depths of the ocean to the desolate shores of a shipwreck, the Devil always demands its due.
