Some names vanish from the records. Others arrive before the people forced to wear them.
The morning after the Vanishing Tide Society discovers that the passage beneath the Breakwater is opening, archivist Julian Ashworth disappears from the present. At breakfast he is a living man. Minutes later, every official record insists he died in 1954.
Evelyn Harcourt and the newly formed Society trace the alteration to Gannet House, where an impossible fourth floor, a false family history and a founder who may never have survived are waiting.
But the passage does more than erase people. It assigns them roles-witness, anchor, wife, daughter-and turns love, guilt and memory into locks.
To bring the missing home, Evelyn must help the Society create a way through that does not demand another sacrifice. Yet every truth they recover draws them closer to the Keeper of Forgotten Names-and to a dangerous identity prepared long before its owner arrives.
The Passage Beneath the Breakwater is Book Two of The Vanishing Tide Society, an atmospheric paranormal women's fiction mystery about chosen identity, mature friendship, found family, second chances and the courage to refuse the story written for you.
