Shadows of the Lantern - A Haunting Journey of Faith, Love, and Redemption
A novel by Seraphina Piotrowski
On the rugged, fog-drenched coast of Maine, where the Whispering Cliffs Lighthouse stands as a solitary guardian against the stormy Atlantic, two lost souls are about to cross paths in a way neither expected.
Marine biologist Elise Marlowe arrives at the lighthouse seeking solitude, hoping to escape the pain of a broken engagement and the faith she once held dear. But when strange, flickering lights appear in the fog-ones that don't belong to the lighthouse-her scientific mind is drawn into a deeper mystery. Her discovery of an old journal, hidden for over a century, reveals a tragic shipwreck, a keeper's broken heart, and secrets that refuse to be buried by time.
Gideon Hale, the stoic lighthouse keeper, has spent years isolating himself, tormented by the memory of a failed rescue mission that cost a man his life. The lighthouse is his penance, his refuge-until Elise disrupts his carefully guarded solitude. As they unravel the whispers of the past, Gideon is forced to confront his own guilt, and Elise begins to question whether she was truly meant to leave faith behind.
But as a powerful nor'easter looms, threatening to engulf the coast once more, past and present collide in ways neither could have foreseen. With the lighthouse's legacy hanging in the balance and their own hearts at stake, Elise and Gideon must decide if they will continue running from their pasts-or find redemption in the light that refuses to fade.
A spellbinding blend of historical mystery, slow-burn romance, and Christian themes of faith, forgiveness, and renewal, Shadows of the Lantern is a poignant tale that lingers long after the final page.
