The Atlantic Pearl
A deadly artefact awakens in the shadowy coastal town of Falmouth, where the ancient and the modern collide. The Atlantic Pearl follows Lillian Hartley, a pragmatic academic, and Sylvia Moon, a mystical West Country witch, as they unravel the dark legacy of The Heart of Shadows—a legendary necklace said to bind its wearer to untold power and peril. With Ethan Hartley, a young, impetuous restaurant owner and beloved nephew of Lillian Hartley, they confront eerie folklore, sinister betrayals, and the rising threat of a malevolent force that seeks to engulf them all.

When a local businessman’s murder exposes a web of deceit tied to Falmouth’s history, the trio must navigate a town simmering with tension, where nothing—and no one—can be trusted. As the artifact’s power grows, the Heart’s grip tightens, threatening not just the town, but the fragile balance between the living and the dead.

The Atlantic Pearl is a spellbinding gothic mystery infused with folklore, dark magic, and the haunting pull of the sea.
