🌊 In a small village bound by myth, a boy's curiosity opens the door to danger and destiny. Set in 1757 on England's storm-lashed Dorset coast, Moonfleet follows the orphaned fifteen-year-old John Trenchard, who becomes caught in the shadowy world of smugglers, ghosts and an age-old secret treasure.

In the village of Moonfleet—named after the once prestigious Mohune family—a legend lingers of "Black Beard" Mohune, a notorious smuggler who buried a priceless diamond and whose restless spirit is said to haunt the local church crypt. John discovers a hidden locket, a coded Bible verse, and an underground vault beneath the church that leads him into a web of smuggling, betrayal, and shipwreck.

Haunted caves, cliff-side chases, desperate escapes, secret codes and a final reckoning all combine in a high-stakes tale of courage, loyalty and survival. Stunningly atmospheric and emotionally rich, Moonfleet is both a thrilling adventure and a timeless story of redemption.

✨ Click "Buy Now" and embark on Moonfleet — J. Meade Falkner's unforgettable voyage through smuggling, suspense and the wild heart of the English coast.
