Sailor's Sanctuary

By Beckton Snow

A sentient cottage traps shipwrecked sailors. Can they escape its sinister price?

 

After a raging storm wrecks their ship, Captain Brutus and his crew are left with one chance at survival - an island with a lone cottage in the distance. But this is no ordinary refuge...

 

Taking shelter within its walls, they unwittingly enter into a dark bargain that strips them of any hope of returning home to loved ones. The cottage is sentient, providing their every need, but at what cost?

 

As father and son, Brutus and his heir must unravel the secrets of this paranormal prison. Can they discover a path to freedom before desperation breeds mutiny among the men? Their sanity and souls hang in the balance.

 

A spellbinding tale of 14th century high seas adventure meets supernatural horror by Beckton Snow. For fans of the mind-bending mysteries in Doctor Who and their magical TARDIS.

 

Brace yourself for an eerie, page-turning story you won't soon forget.
