Off the windswept shores of Scotland, unnatural and deadly secrets lurk beneath the waves. Isa McQuiston is caught between two worlds. Strange creatures are attacking her people, the injuries inflicted beyond her medical expertise. Men tossed ashore by the waves, drained of blood, a severed tentacle piercing their flesh. Any hope of finding answers involves forging a cautious alliance with a handsome outsider. Dr. Alec McCullough, recovering naval officer, is investigating a rash of inexplicable octopus attacks, but his every effort is met with resistance. Coaxing an attractive young widow-the local healer-to allow him to examine the latest victim only leads to further complications. ~ STEP INTO THE ELEMENTAL WEB!
