About The Gargoyle of Gull Rock
Arthur Pemberton-Kay moved to the edge of the world to be left alone. Gull Rock Lighthouse suited him perfectly: eighty-four stone steps, a kettle that always went on at the same hour, and no one close enough to ask how he was really doing.
Then a fisherman leaves him a cracked stone carving as a paperweight — and one spilled cup of tea later, Arthur discovers it’s not a paperweight at all.
Barnaby is a gargoyle: granite-grey, bat-winged, with a bulldog’s endearingly grumpy face and a heart that glows amber-gold whenever he feels safe. He is also, immediately and unshakably, attached to Arthur — and he has absolutely no intention of letting his new keeper hide from the fishing village of Oakhaven, its warm-hearted baker, its damp and gentle selkie, or the community slowly, patiently working its way into a solitary man’s carefully guarded life.
As the mist rolls in and the harbour’s old protective magic begins to fade, Arthur will have to decide whether the quiet he fought so hard for was ever really what he wanted — or whether being needed again might be worth the risk.
A slow-exhale, found-family cozy fantasy for anyone who’s ever wanted to be adopted by something small, stubborn, and glowing — perfect for readers of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea.
