What the sea takes for its own can never return... Portugal, 1770.
Cecilia Lamb knew being a sea captain's wife might mean a life of
waiting and scanning the horizon for her husband's ship. But John
has been gone longer than any voyage should last. Everyone else has
given up hope of his return. But she knows in her bones that he is
not lost. Gone, but not lost. Barely able to tear her eyes from the
shimmering sea, she feels drawn to the sun-baked shoreline, and
amid the bustle of the docks she feels certain that her husband
will come back to her. Though along with that feeling is another
sense - that something darker is coming. As she sickens, she
doesn't know what the next tide will bring - but she begins to fear
as well as crave her husband's homecoming. Soon, even on dry land,
Cecilia can feel the pull of the ocean at her feet, the movement of
the tides within her. Warning, seduction or promise, she cannot
tell, but one thing is certain - the sea holds many secrets, and
some of them are too powerful to ever be drowned.
