Donald Ross of Heimra (Volume 2 of 3)

A black night drapes the coast, and the low hum of waves against the rocks seems to carry whispered warnings. Two men, Coinneach Breac and the younger Calum‑a‑Bhata, pace the wooden pier, swapping uneasy tales in their native tongue. Their conversation drifts to a lighthouse keeper’s uncle, who returns trembling from a strange encounter with a phantom dog perched on the first rung, its teeth marks fading like a bad dream. The atmosphere is thick with superstition, the sea’s darkness echoing the dread that settles over the isolated settlement.

Beyond the haunt of that midnight warning, the story follows Donald Ross, a determined outsider drawn to the remote village of Heimra. As he steps ashore, he finds himself caught between the locals’ ancient lore and the harsh reality of a rugged coastline. Listeners will travel with Ross through fog‑bound harbors and restless cliffs, uncovering secrets that linger just beyond the lantern’s glow, while the ever‑present threat of the unseen looms in the night.
