The Bone Diver

A gothic fantasy rooted in folklore, The Bone Diver follows Kier Sealgair, the only daughter in a Scottish seal-hunting family. When her father falls ill and Kier, who cannot kill, becomes a burden, a neighboring manor—Erskine Manor—appears on the horizon with its own mysteries. Wealth and whispers surround the estate: servants come and go, yet the inhabitants remain unseen, and local townsfolk spin rumours of spine-toothed monsters roaming the grounds. Then a chance encounter leads Lady Erskine to offer Kier a bargain that could save her father and alter the town’s fate. As questions mount—who lives in the five towers, is the lord alive, and are the children human or something else—the tale unfolds as a period gothic saga weaving legends and monsters from the deep with enduring themes of family, sacrifice and the pull of myth.

A richly atmospheric blend of folklore and fantasy, The Bone Diver invites fans of atmospheric, character-driven gothic fiction to explore a world where myth and memory collide in a coastal Scottish setting.
