* * *

Something has walked the floors of the Ormen for over a century.

Something that craves revenge…

*Longlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize*

1901. On board the Ormen, a whaling ship battling through the unforgiving North Sea, a woman awakes. Attacked and dragged there against her will, it’s just her and the crew – and they’re all owed something only she can give them.

Decades later, the Ormen is found drifting across the ocean, deserted. Just one body is left on board, his face and feet mutilated, his cabin locked from the inside. Everyone else has vanished.

Now. Urban explorer Dominique travels into the near-permanent darkness of the northernmost tip of Iceland. She's searching for the final resting place of the Ormen’s wreck, and she’s determined to uncover its secrets.

But she’s not alone. Something is here with her. And it’s seeking revenge…

Critic reviews

‘An unnerving tale full of ghosts, selkies and plenty of mystery, which Cooke deploys not only to craft the novel’s frights but also to probe ideas of grief and retribution. The result is a story that is as haunting as the Ormen itselfNew York Times

'[A] frosty spine-tingler' Publisher's Weekly
