She carries no papers, no ring, no clear past, and no explanation for the terror that follows her from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe villagers call her \u003cstrong\u003eMairéad na Mara\u003c\/strong\u003e, Mairéad of the Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut across the harbour lies Inisbride, a ruined island of roofless cottages, a chapel without a voice, an old burial ground, and the dark house on the western rise known as \u003cstrong\u003eTeach Dubh\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Black House. No one lives there now. No one speaks of what happened there with honesty.
