Summary
When archivist Dr. Fiona MacLeod uncovers the suppressed diary of Joseph Moore, the relief keeper who discovered the abandoned Flannan Isles lighthouse in 1900, she finds his forbidden observations of strange lights beneath the waves and mathematical patterns scratched into the walls—revelations that force her to confront a terrifying truth the Northern Lighthouse Board has kept hidden for over a century.

Settings
Eilean Mòr Lighthouse
A stark white tower rising from black basalt cliffs on the uninhabited Flannan Isle, surrounded by violent Atlantic waters. Inside: spiral iron stairs winding upward, walls scarred with inexplicable geometric patterns beneath layers of paint, and the lantern room's glass panels offering a panoramic view of endless, indifferent sea.
The Scottish National Archives Sub-Basement
A windowless maze of climate-controlled vaults beneath Edinburgh, lit by fluorescent panels that hum constantly. Row upon row of acid-free boxes contain centuries of meticulously catalogued maritime records, each labeled with bureaucratic precision, the air thick with the smell of old paper and preservation chemicals.
