Book Trailer





The lighthouse keepers of a disappearing coast refuse the order to abandon their posts. As the sea takes the road, then the village, then the ground beneath them, they keep the lamps lit for ships that may no longer be coming.

The sea is the best-drawn character here.
The ground literally shrinks beneath them.
Camaraderie forged in genuinely bad weather.
Spare, salt-worn, and quietly moving.
A disappearing coast.
An order to abandon.
Keepers who refuse.
Horizon Keepers is a windswept survival story about stubbornness as a form of love, and duty long after anyone is watching.
