The 19th century adventures of Nancy Luce, West Tisbury poetess and 70-year-old monster hunter.

They want nothing more than to destroy all of God's creatures. They are murderers, and they will kill you and I alike. Do not look at a lighthouse and think of the light it brings to ships, think of the darkness it has brought upon us."
