In the isolated coastal town of Blackhall-on-Sea, the dead are never truly buried.
When the influential Lady Moira Blackhall is laid to rest beneath a blanket of sea fog, Detective Hamish Brodie expects a quiet investigation into a troubled family's secrets. Instead, he witnesses a figure standing alone among the mourners-a tall stranger whose face cannot be seen... because it isn't there.
Soon the town begins to unravel.
A shepherd is discovered brutally murdered, his face torn away. Ancient symbols appear beneath abandoned chapels. Ghostly figures emerge from the mist, watching in silence. Forgotten journals reveal dark rituals, broken promises, and a centuries-old pact with something that should never have been awakened. As fear spreads through the village, Brodie joins forces with fearless journalist Eleanor Vance and a handful of reluctant allies to uncover the horrifying truth hidden beneath Blackhall's cliffs.
But every answer leads to another nightmare.
