Escape to the windswept Isle of Aynhallow with Juniper Thorne and her eleven-year-old daughter, Iris, as they seek refuge in the dilapidated Seabrook Bed and Breakfast. Fleeing a toxic marriage, Juniper hopes to rebuild their lives amidst the peeling paint and whispered secrets of the neglected house. But Seabrook holds more than just cobwebs and dust; it harbors a legacy, dark and dangerous, woven into the very fabric of the island.
Within the walls of Room 17, Juniper discovers a hidden diary, bound in faded cornflower blue. The words within belong to Rebecca O’Connor, a girl who vanished from Seabrook generations ago. Rebecca’s entries chronicle an idyllic childhood by the sea, collecting seashells and sharing whispered confidences with her grandmother. But the narrative soon darkens, revealing a chilling family secret: the uncanny ability to manipulate luck through a whispered Gaelic rhyme. As Juniper reads, unsettling parallels to her own life emerge, from vanishing trinkets to escalating accidents that mirror Rebecca's tragic fate.
Iris, a quiet observer with an artist's eye, captures the house's haunting beauty in her sketchbook, unknowingly echoing Rebecca’s descriptions of shadowy figures and objects moving on their own. Juniper’s research reveals a shocking truth—her own family tree intertwined with the O’Connors, the rhyme a dangerous inheritance now unknowingly carried by Iris.
A fierce winter storm descends upon Seabrook, and Iris, terrified, instinctively whispers the rhyme. An unnatural calm follows, but the silence is a prelude to a greater danger—a landslide threatening to engulf them all. Juniper faces a harrowing choice: repeat the cycle of manipulation or guide Iris toward understanding and control.
Caught between a legacy of whispers and the fierce love for her daughter, Juniper must fight for their future, not against a supernatural curse, but against the seductive power of a gift that could consume them both. Discover the chilling truth of Seabrook in 'The Salt Daughter,' a haunting tale of family secrets, inherited power, and the enduring strength of a mother's love.
