Dead Man's Lantern - Maisie Thorne

A forgotten shipwreck. A vanished fisherman. A lantern that should never have been found.

When a violent storm tears open the secrets of Misty Point, marine biologist Tessa Hartley expects to study an ecological anomaly-not unravel a century-old mystery. But when a long-buried shipwreck emerges from the sea, glowing with eerie bioluminescence, and a local fisherman disappears without a trace, Tessa is pulled into something far darker than science can explain.

Drawn to an ancient lantern pulsing with unnatural light and etched in cryptic symbols, Tessa teams up with a reclusive lighthouse historian to uncover the truth. What they find is a chilling legend brought to life-a tale of a cursed ship, a powerful family hiding deadly secrets, and a force lurking beneath the waves that does not forgive...and never forgets.

As the sea begins to "remember," Tessa must race against time to decode the symbols, uncover the truth behind the Widow's Curse, and stop a rising darkness before it claims more lives-including her own.

Atmospheric, suspenseful, and steeped in maritime folklore, Dead Man's Lantern is a gripping supernatural mystery where science collides with legend-and the ocean always demands its due.
