Chapter 1

Meriel Murphy had always wanted to go somewhere quiet, away from her present, to escape her past, and without much worry for her future. When a long lost great-uncle dies, leaving her as his sole heir, it seems as though her prayers have been answered. She moves to the Oregon coast to claim his rustic cabin and start something new. But dreams of a peaceful life along the sea soon vanish as sinister events and dark family secrets threaten to tear her sanity to pieces. The tide is coming in, but will she be ready to face what it brings?
