WRECKED
by MEGAN MARROW
The sea leaves her alive. The truth arrives later. Mary awakens on the shore with salt on her lips, a stranger’s coat warming her body, and the wreckage of the Wayfarer scattered across the sand. A lone sailor has survived with her. Stranded on an island with only the clothes on their backs, survival forces them closer. They thirst for fresh water. Go hungry when the sea refuses to feed them. Shiver when a storm steals their only source of warmth. They learn how to live with the sea—and with each other. Mary has spent her life knowing what she cannot have. A home of her own. A husband. The kind of love her sister was promised. As a scullery maid bound to another family, she has learned not to ask for more. But on the island, the rules have changed. And the longer they remain, the harder it becomes to remember that this life was never supposed to be theirs. Because while the sea threw them together, rescue could tear them apart.
