The Sea Child: A gorgeous sweeping historical debut love story set in Cornwall - with a hint of magic and folklore

A love story with a touch of magic and folklore set against the wilderness of the Cornish coast.

It was a grey and misty morning when she appeared on the Cornish shore. A girl of only four years old, soaking wet, unable to speak. With no one to claim her, rumours started to swirl and the villagers began to believe she was brought from the sea, the daughter of mystical sea creatures.

Now, newly widowed, she returns to the village to start a new life and as she settles into life in Cornwall, she feels the sea calling to her to come back home.

Then one night, she discovers Jack Carlyon, an injured smuggler, in her home and allows him to stay to recover. They cannot be together – she is a child of the sea and he is a man of the land – but so begins a love story that will push them both to the edge of their hearts…
