A haunting and lyrical tale set in a flooded world where one woman lives on a drifting circus boat and another tends ocean graves. Their chance meeting promises refuge, hope and belonging. Perfect for fans of dreamy, atmospheric fantasy and quietly profound love stories.

A shimmering, melancholic debut that blends fairy-tale intimacy with speculative scope. The Gracekeepers drifts between land and sea, solitude and solace, finding beauty in the spaces between.
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
The sea has taken almost everything. What remains drifts, clings, or learns how to survive on water that never stills. North travels with a floating circus, her life bound to movement and performance, guarding a secret that could upend the fragile safety she has built. Callanish lives in deliberate solitude, tending the dead from her house adrift in the ocean, carrying out her duties as a gracekeeper in quiet atonement.
In The Gracekeepers, their meeting feels both accidental and inevitable. Drawn together by shared loneliness and a hunger for something steadier than survival, they begin to imagine a different future. The world around them, however, is shaped by loss, rigid belief, and the constant threat of exposure.
The novel unfolds gently, attentive to ritual, touch, and the language of water. It is a story about care and chosen connection in a landscape defined by scarcity. The Gracekeepers lingers on the idea of home as something made rather than inherited, and on the courage it takes to hope when the tide has learned to work against you.
