The Sea’s Old Claim - Deborah Tadema

In a remote Atlantic fishing hamlet, the sea demands its due, not just in fish, but in the very souls of those who dare to challenge its ancient claims. Maeve Ní Rian, quick to defy, finds her world upended when Cormac Doyle returns, a man scarred by war and the long silence that followed his departure. In the harsh winter of 1923, their small community clings to survival, battling both the unforgiving ocean and the deep-seated superstitions that dictate their lives.
