Sawyer Black just accepted an unusual extra-credit assignment: a week of community service on a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paint a few walls, fix an old fence—it should be an easy A, right?
But the Riptide Inn is full of secrets. Why is the lighthouse off-limits? What’s with all the driftwood figurines? Who is lumbering through the halls at night?
... And what are they dragging behind them?
As each of Sawyer’s tasks proves more dangerous than the last, he’ll face his greatest challenge yet:
Getting off the island alive.

About the author
Karsten Knight
18 books912 followersSome say Karsten Knight’s writing career peaked at the age of six, when he completed a picture book about a sassy, adventurous worm. In the decades since, he’s tried in futility to live up to the high literary bar he set back during the first grade by publishing other novels such as:
• the mythological fantasy THIS ETERNITY OF MASKS AND SHADOWS
• the time-traveling thriller PATCHWORK
• the historical mystery NIGHTINGALE, SING
• the volcano goddess trilogy WILDEFIRE (Simon & Schuster)
• and the spooky BONEGARDEN series for young readers.
His books have been described as “exceptional” (San Diego Union-Tribune), “action-packed” (Publishers Weekly), “riveting” (VOYA), “sizzling” (Booklist), and “compelling” (School Library Journal)—but most critics would probably agree that it’s all been downhill since that worm book in ’91.
Karsten studied creative writing at College of the Holy Cross and earned an MFA in writing for children from Simmons College. A lifelong resident of Massachusetts, he lives for long walks in fall weather. For more information on Karsten and to keep up with his latest releases, please visit www.karstenknightbooks.com.
