"The Queen of the Isle" by May Agnes Fleming is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Campbell's Isle, a small yet strikingly beautiful island with a history steeped in legend and a reputation for ghostly sightings, as we are introduced to its current inhabitants, Guy Campbell and his sister Sibyl. Young Guy, who is set against the backdrop of his family's storied past, grapples with his reckless inheritance while becoming entangled with a mysterious passenger named Richard Grove. At the start of the tale, we are drawn into the eerie atmosphere of Campbell's Isle, where the ghostly history and legends linger over its inhabitants. As the narrative unfolds, we meet various characters steeped in their own mysteries, such as the devoted old servant Aunt Moll and the enigmatic young girl Christie, whose origins raise questions. The opening chapters set the stage for unfolding dramas, including Richard Grove’s tragic backstory and the supernatural elements introduced by the cursed narrative of the past, merging suspense and romance. The heart of the plot begins to emerge as Sibyl and Guy Campbell navigate their lives amid the island's haunting charm, accompanied by the intriguing presence of Grove and the apparitions that disrupt their world.
