Overview

What the island takes from you, it gives back as something truer. When former military medic Mara Voss washes ashore on an unmapped Atlantic island - the sole survivor of a charter wreck - she expects to survive. She does not expect Saoirse Doyle, a Irish artist who drifted to the same shore by a different current, chasing open water and finding something else entirely. The island has no name on any chart. GPS goes dark within five miles of its reef. And it is not empty. White-eyed deer move through the black palms. Birds call in sounds that bend toward language. At the island's heart, ancient ruins pulse with a presence older than any god either woman has a name for - something vast, patient, and extraordinarily interested in what happens between two people when every layer of ordinary life has been stripped away. DESERT ISLAND: The Complete Series collects all eight novellas of the acclaimed dark romance series in one volume: WRECKED - Two strangers. One impossible shore. BLACK PALMS - The ruins. The mythology. The thing that begins. THE LAGOON - Bioluminescent water, shared visions, and the first crossing of a threshold. TIDAL - Full love. Strange grace. The island's deepest secret revealed. THE WORD-BIRDS - A ship on the horizon. A fracture that was always coming. DEEP WATER - Separated. Each woman alone on a different shore. THE TEMPLE - The descent to the center. The thing that cannot be unseen. OPEN WATER - The world again. The choice that cannot be unmade. Spanning survival and mythology, psychological horror and passionate romance, Desert Island is a story about what it costs to be fully present to another person - and what becomes possible when you finally are. For readers of Carmen Maria Machado, Sarah Waters, and Monique Roffey. Contains sensual romantic content, dark themes, and adult language.
