A young woman answers a cry across the water and loses herself in the echo.
Longstone
Lighthouse, 1838.
Grace
Darling wakens to the howl of wind screaming over stone and the sight of a ship
smashed against the rocks. No stranger to the fury of the sea, she braves the
raging waters, risking her life to save nine survivors.
Her
valour captures the nation’s heart,
and in the aftermath of her daring rescue, she is hailed as a heroine. Painted,
praised and relentlessly pursued, Grace is swept out from the shadows of
solitude and into the limelight. But fame brings its own tempest, and the
lighthouse keeper’s daughter soon finds
herself eclipsed by her own legend.
Grace is a haunting
portrait of a modest young woman consumed by the voracious gaze of Victorian
Britain.

Helen Steadman
mostly writes biographical historical fiction (think herbs, healing, witch
trials, swords, shipwrecks and lighthouses) set in the north east of England.
So far, she’s written the Newcastle Witch Trials Trilogy (Widdershins, Sunwise and Solstice), The Running Wolf (about the Shotley Bridge swordmakers) and Grace (about Grace Darling, the Northumbrian lighthouse keeper’s daughter).
And then – because why not – there’s God of Fire set on Mount Olympus, which is absolutely nowhere near the north east of England.
