The WindglassByDarryl Martel When twelve-year-old Isla Fenwick is sent to live with her grandmother Ada in the seaside village of Brackenmere, she expects boredom and quiet. What she finds instead is a house full of whispers, a cliff that hums when the tide turns, and the broken shell of an old lighthouse that seems to breathe with the wind.After her father's ship is lost in a storm, Isla wanders the cliffs in grief-and discovers a strange, glowing Windglass buried near the lighthouse ruins. When she turns it under the light of the moon, time bends around her, carrying her into the past.There she meets Mara, a fierce, lonely girl from the eighteenth century, and Hugh, a young lighthouse keeper from the Victorian age. Both are trapped in their own storms-ghosts of forgotten centuries who cannot move on. Bound by the Windglass's power, Isla must uncover the truth of the lighthouse and the vanished Keeper who once watched over it, before the next great storm breaks and the cycle begins again.As she journeys between centuries, Isla learns that the Windglass doesn't just reveal the past-it remembers. Each turn of the glass draws her deeper into a web of choices that echo through time. The final storm will demand a keeper once more... and Isla must decide whether to save herself, or set the lost souls free.Filled with haunting imagery, quiet courage, and the shimmer of old secrets, The Windglass is a timeless story about loss, love, and the light we choose to keep burning.
