THE ISLAND BEYOND THE DRIFT

A family vacation becomes a nightmare when a violent disaster at sea leaves Cole Mercer, Ester, and their thirteen-year-old son Ethan fighting to survive on open water.

Then they see the island.

At first, the isolated shoreline appears to be their only chance of survival. But beyond the cliffs and dense wilderness are signs that someone was there long before them-and that whatever happened there was never meant to be discovered.

Hidden within the island are the remains of a decaying research facility and the buried history of Project Mercy, an experiment whose consequences did not disappear when the facility was abandoned. Strange creatures move through the darkness. Survivors carry secrets of their own. An infection begins changing those exposed to the island, while scattered evidence suggests that the disaster unfolding around Cole and his family began decades earlier.

As their search for rescue becomes a desperate fight to escape, trust begins to fracture and every new discovery leads them deeper into the island's past. The mysterious Anna Hale may hold part of the truth, but understanding what happened at Project Mercy could prove just as dangerous as the creatures hunting them.

With supplies disappearing, the threat spreading, and the possibility of rescue growing more uncertain by the hour, Cole must do whatever he can to protect his family before the island takes everything from them.

Dark, atmospheric, and relentlessly suspenseful, The Island Beyond the Drift is a standalone survival-horror thriller blending maritime disaster, scientific mystery, creature horror, conspiracy, and desperate family survival.

Some places are difficult to find.

This one was meant to stay lost.
