The Legend of Blackshore (The Blackshore Trilogy)

Some ghost stories wait for the right summer to come alive.

Blackshore, Nova Scotia, is known for its pirate history and urban legends. Children vanish. And every spring + summer, legend says a pirate rises from the caves to collect his due.

Autumn Quinn never believed in the towns folklore—until the spring of 1997, when she was taken.

She came back alive. But she came back marked. Something crawled out of the dark with her.

Now Autumn and her friends are trapped in Blackshore’s oldest nightmare, hunted by a presence that wears a pirate’s face and burrows into their minds.

And for Jesse Ryder, Autumn's boyfriend, the voice is merciless: kill her friends, or watch her die.

Set in the years of 1996-1997, The Legend of Blackshore is a coming-of-age romantic thriller filled with haunted coastlines, cursed caves, and the kind of first love that leaves a scar.
