A tale of romance, intrigue and Gods truth on the high seas.

The story has a hint of the Lord of the Flies simply because our characters are heading for a Utopian promise only to collide against everything *they* believe should be right. But the similarities end there.

The story captured me within the first chapter. It flipped between past and present and I loved the retrospective style of the chapter crafting. It was always very clear which present I was in, but it gave a delightful flavor to the novel that worked so well.

Since the very beginning of Tyndalls career she has set her books on the seas. Her most recent releases though have been landlubbers, and I have to say its great to be back on the open sea. Its the only way youre going to get me out there, so as I sailed around the coast with the crew of characters I was taken into a completely different time and place.

Our characters have to come to a new faith and every moment of their journey felt nothing but authentic. The romance was sweet and enticed me to return to the pages over and over again.

A captivating story. Characters that grip your heart to an ending that simply made me sigh in delight. Its that kind of historical novel that will only get better with subsequent readings. And left opened just enough to have this reader chomping for book #2!

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author for my copy to review.
