Beneath the sweeping skies of a quiet coastal town, a storm of secrets brews.
When Eleanor returns home to help her ailing father?the once-revered lighthouse keeper known only as the Lanternman?she and her sister Miriam find themselves reckoning with more than just the echo of waves and the weight of nostalgia. Memories long buried surface with the fog, drawing them into a haunting family legacy that refuses to stay in the past.
As the sisters uncover the truth behind the disappearance of their mother and the stories whispered through generations, they must decide what to cling to and what to let drift away. But the sea, like the past, has its own will?and it never forgets.
A lyrical tale of memory, myth, and the tides that bind us, The Lanternman's Daughters explores the depths of sisterhood and the quiet power of reckoning with the ghosts we inherit.
