On a remote basalt headland known only as Sable Peak, a lone caretaker catalogues weather, birds, and the slow erosion of memory. Through seasonal logbooks and found objects, the narrative pieces together stories of former inhabitants—fisherfolk, wartime signalers, and a vanished naturalist—whose lives still echo in the salt-stained ruins. The prose lingers on tidal cycles, lighthouse optics, and the quiet persistence of wildflowers that colonise crevices. As winter storms isolate the promontory, the keeper must decide whether to hold on or let the sea claim the last traces of human history.
