"Lose yourself in this beautifully crafted tale of love's enduring power and the timeless connections that bind us all." LibraryThing Review.
There is a place on the coast of New England where a salty sailor gives sage advice, and a legendary mermaid appears at least once a century. Madeline owns an antique store in this charming town and hides a secret gift. When she touches an object, she feels the essence of the previous owner.
After she purchases a mysterious walnut box at an estate sale, she's flooded with haunting dreams of Maria, a spirited Puritan girl whose forbidden romance with a sailor-turned-pirate caused a scandal.
Desperate for answers, Madeline turns to Evan, a handsome history professor who stirs feelings she'd long buried. Together, they unravel Maria's tragic story, drawn into a centuries-old mystery. With Evan's support, can she finally lay the ghosts of the past to rest-including her own?
Inspired by the true legend of Maria Hallett and the notorious pirate Black Sam Bellamy, Sea Magic is a spellbinding novel of love, destiny, and the mystical threads that connect us across time.
