In Wild Dark Shore, Charlotte McConaghy sets a story of isolation, survival, and hidden truths on a remote island near Antarctica. Once a hub for researchers, Shearwater is now nearly abandoned, with only Dominic Salt and his three children remaining as caretakers of a vital seed bank threatened by rising seas.
During a violent storm, a mysterious woman named Rowan washes ashore. As the family brings her back to health, her presence begins to shift the fragile balance of life on the island. Rowan, used to protecting herself, starts to imagine the possibility of belonging, even as questions linger about why she came.
At the same time, signs of unease begin to surface. Damaged equipment, unexplained discoveries, and the weight of unspoken histories suggest that not everyone is telling the truth. As conditions worsen and the storm intensifies, trust becomes uncertain and the stakes grow higher.
Blending elements of mystery, survival, and emotional drama, Wild Dark Shore explores the choices people make to protect those they love, and what it means to rebuild in a world shaped by loss and change.
