Sammendrag: Efter en voldsom storm til søs kastes den fjortenårige Caleb i Atlanterhavet. Han vågner på Sable Island, reddet af en af øens vilde hingste og taget i ly hos den mystiske Norse, som skjuler sig på øen. Caleb lærer at overleve i det barske miljø, lærer skrimshaw og historier om skibsvrag og øens fortid. Han forelsker sig i øen, men ved ikke, om han kan blive. Da han møder en spøgelsespige, der rider barback over klitterne, opdager han, at Sable Island gemmer på farlige hemmeligheder. For at redde både pigen og sig selv må Caleb tage modige valg. En hjertevarm og spændende fortælling for tweens og unge læsere, som blander vildheste, overnaturlige elementer og overlevelsesdrama på en isoleret sandø.
