Luck: an event that could be for good or ill,
depending on your interpretation. As a lexicographer, Abigail Harker has always taken refuge
in the meaning of words. But when fate erases in one tragic
moment what she loves the most, the very foundations of her
life vanish. Abigail retreats to Chapel Isle, a
secluded island in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. As
caretaker of a run-down lighthouse, she hopes to redefine
herself. But as a resident soon remarks, “If you came to
Chapel Isle for normal, you came to the wrong
place.” For on Chapel Isle, no one can be neatly
defined. From a scientific genius to the feuding fishermen’s
wives, from a handsome hothead to the ghost said to be
haunting the lighthouse, everyone is struggling to find
meaning where meaning seems lost. And when a series of
mysterious crimes strikes the island, Abigail finds that she
must face down her deepest fears if she is to save herself,
her neighbors, and the new life she’s unexpectedly come to
cherish.
