About
Lose yourself in a story of quiet longing and hard-won trust.
The Lantern and the Sea is a moving new romance about rebuilding after loss, finding your own voice, and choosing love in the face of uncertainty.
Dubrovnik, Croatia. Isla has spent years repairing broken cellos and protecting the fragile pieces of her own heart. She keeps her world small, focused on her music, her students, and her carefully guarded secrets. Everything changes when she meets Adrian, a reserved yet fiercely loyal restorer who is quietly wrestling with his own scars. Their encounter begins to challenge everything Isla thought she wanted.
As unwanted headlines threaten to drag Isla’s private life into the open, and Adrian’s past returns with its own demands, both are forced to confront the risk of being truly seen. Their connection grows through music, mistakes, and late-night walks across rain-soaked streets. Isla faces a choice: will she trust someone enough to share her truth, and can she find the courage to carry his?
From the echoing halls of old chapels to the windswept harbors of the Adriatic, The Lantern and the Sea is a story about letting the light in, finding comfort in imperfection, and choosing love one day at a time.
Seraphine Ashe believes the best stories are built on trust and the courage to choose love. This is her first novel.
