The Lighthouse of Broken Hearts
by Gerald Kelleher

Sound of the Sea is a post-apocalyptic story of grief and survival following a devastating pandemic. Raymond, having lost his family, shelters alone on a remote coast until he rescues Azma, a refugee whose parallel story charts persecution and trafficking. Their fragile struggle to survive together is threatened by a cult that worships the virus itself. As brutality closes in, the novel moves toward a stark climax that explores the extremes of civilisation’s collapse.
