Wild Dark Shore - Hardcover

Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy is a deeply atmospheric and suspenseful novel from my personal library — previously read and cared for in a smoke‑free home, now ready for its next reader. This unforgettable story blends thrilling mystery, emotional depth, and evocative nature writing as it follows a secluded family and a mysterious stranger on a remote island in a world facing rapid ecological change. 

Dominic Salt and his three children are the final caretakers of Shearwater, an isolated island near Antarctica that houses the world’s largest seed vault — a symbol of hope against global environmental collapse. When Rowan, a stranger washed ashore during a brutal storm, enters their lives, it sparks both connection and suspicion. As secrets unfold, sabotaged communication systems and strange discoveries hint at deeper danger, forcing them to confront past losses and decide if trust and love are possible even as the world around them seems to fall apart. 

Perfect for fans of literary thrillers, environmental fiction, and character‑driven mysteries, Wild Dark Shore offers breathtaking twists and unforgettable characters that stay with you long after the final page.
