Crestwood was spooky in the daytime let alone at midnight, which is why Lily Martin is not quite sure why she's standing in the middle of it at twelve o'clock. Perhaps it's the excitement she felt when the stranger gave her the silver locket on the street that day, perhaps it's the intrigue of unraveling a mystery, or, just perhaps, it's having the chance to uncover the details of a twenty year old murder. For Lily, it's all three. Kayle's Harbor is just an average nineteenth century town with sailors washing in and out with the tide every day, and Lily was content with her life at the Dark Horse tavern. That is until one day a mysterious stranger gives her a locket with a portrait of her mother inside and asks her to meet him in Crestwood at midnight. Little did Lily know that the rendezvous would be the spark to ignite a whirlwind fire of mystery, murder, and intrigue all fed by the secrets of those most close to her, seen and unseen. This gripping tale of sailors, ships, and secrets as Lily struggles to find the truth about not only her parents, but her own place in the world, while not becoming a victim herself will leave you turning pages long after midnight
