The Light Over the Bay

Description

Three short flashes. A pause. One long.

Across Aarhus Bay, a pattern of light appears where no signal should exist.

Anneli Hartman notices what others dismiss. Following the mysterious sequence leads her towards coded textiles, forgotten optical inventions and a hidden system someone has worked hard to conceal.

And then there is Mr. Winter.

Brilliant, guarded and unwilling to reveal everything he knows, he could be Anneli’s most valuable ally. Or the one person she should never trust.

Then a man dies.

Someone begins following Anneli. Her home is searched. And as she and Mr. Winter grow closer, the line between suspicion and desire becomes increasingly difficult to navigate.

Every discovery raises another question. Every answer exposes a deeper secret.

And someone is determined to keep the truth buried.

But the most unsettling question remains:

If the light is a signal, who is it meant for?

Set in an imagined, historically inspired Denmark, The Light Over the Bay is the first novel in The Hidden Lines of Light trilogy — an atmospheric mystery of ingenious inventions, dangerous secrets, gothic intrigue and slow-burning romantic tension.
