She’s not the first lighthouse keeper to lose her mind on the shores of Cabo Polonio, but she’s determined to be the first to survive it. Delmira Torres knows fleeing to Brazil is the only way she’ll be free of her abusive husband. But to get there she’ll need money; it’s why she takes a posting at a lighthouse in Cabo Polonio, Uruguay, a small town where time doesn’t seem to move quite right.

There, she has only a month until her husband and her secrets catch up to her. But the position comes marred by the legend of La Loba, who stalks the lighthouse and the nearby fishing village, and by the spiraling visions that begin to plague Delmira. A century earlier, Amalia arrives at the same lighthouse.

Held captive and desperate to escape her dire situation, her story may hold the answers to Delmira’s torment. Both of them, desperate for freedom and determined to survive, must find a way to outlive the horrors of Cabo Polonio.
