The Wild Beneath

Annie MacLeod always knew she was different, growing up on a boat in the Pacific Northwest, living in sync with the ocean. But when a tsunami shatters her world and her parents are swept away, Annie is stranded on land, grief-stricken, despite her enduring love for her childhood sweetheart, Evan.

In the wreckage, Annie rescues a wordless man named Walker, who emits a hum only she can hear. Their connection is instant, elemental, and Annie is torn between the two men.

Six years later, Annie has buried the past. But when Walker’s otherworldly sound returns, it forces a reckoning in her soul.

The Wild Beneath is a spellbinding story of soulmates, sacrifice and the ancient bonds that tie us all to the natural world.

For fans of Charlotte McConaghy’s Wild Dark Shore, Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing and Miranda Cowley Heller’s The Paper Palace.
