When coastal surveyor Calum Rourke arrives in the isolated Scottish parish of Black Water to investigate unstable cliffs and failing sea defences, he expects bad weather, suspicious locals and endless paperwork.
Instead, he discovers the Quiet Kin.
Silent figures stand at crossroads, churchyards and harbour walls. The villagers never acknowledge them, yet everyone knows they are there. They are not ghosts in the ordinary sense. They are witnesses. Guardians. The remembered dead who have watched over Black Water Parish for generations.
When an ancient bargain begins to unravel, forgotten names surface, the river flows backwards, doors open beneath the sea, and the dead begin walking where they should not. Calum and local police constable Mairi Sutherland find themselves at the centre of a mystery older than the parish itself-a mystery built not on murder, but on memory.
As buried histories emerge and families are forced to confront the truths they erased, Calum learns that monsters are not always born from darkness. Sometimes they are created by everything a community chooses to forget.
Rich in atmosphere, mystery and unsettling folklore, Black Water Parish is a supernatural novel where ancient promises, forgotten lives and quiet acts of remembrance become the only defence against a darkness waiting beneath the tides.
For readers who enjoy slow-burning paranormal mysteries, Scottish folklore, eerie coastal settings and emotionally resonant supernatural fiction, Black Water Parish is a haunting tale about memory, guilt and the stories that refuse to stay buried.
