The Boy With the Heart of Sea Glass by Laura Livingstone

Description

The Boy With the Heart of Sea Glass by Laura Livingstone is a haunting and romantic LGBTQ fantasy novel blending coastal folklore, first love, grief, and eerie seaside magic into an unforgettable coming-of-age story.

Eighteen-year-old Sam returns to the tiny Cornish island where he was born carrying more questions than answers. Heartbroken and emotionally adrift, he hopes the island might offer some connection to the father he never knew and help him piece together the fractured parts of his life.

Instead, the island begins pulling him toward something stranger.

Every night, Sam dreams of the sea. What starts as unsettling visions slowly deepens into something impossible to ignore, blurring the boundaries between memory, myth, and reality itself. The ocean seems to be calling to him, whispering secrets tied to his family’s past and the hidden history of the island.

Then there’s Tryste.

With his stormy eyes, magnetic presence, and instant chemistry with Sam, Tryste becomes both a distraction and a temptation Sam desperately wants to trust. Falling for the first boy he meets was never part of the plan, especially after heartbreak taught him how dangerous hope can be. Yet the connection between them feels impossible to resist.

But the deeper Sam falls into both love and mystery, the more he realizes that nothing about the island or Tryste is quite what it seems.

Atmospheric, emotional, and touched with fairytale melancholy, The Boy With the Heart of Sea Glass explores identity, belonging, queer love, and the powerful pull of the unknown. Perfect for readers who enjoy lyrical LGBTQ fantasy, coastal gothic vibes, magical realism, and stories where romance and myth swirl together like waves against black cliffs.

A beautifully bittersweet tale where the sea keeps its promises… even when humans cannot.
