On the wild and windswept coast of Wales, a dark secret whispers in the shadows. The Maid of Sker is a classic Gothic romance novel by R. D. Blackmore, published in 1872. Set in the late 18th century, the story follows the mysterious origins of a foundling child, washed ashore on the coast of Glamorganshire.

She is haunted by visions of a beautiful woman dressed in white, and she hears eerie voices calling her name.
