Frederick Estibus is melancholy. For all his twenty some years, the second son floated along, numb to the everything, and deferred to his brother to make his decisions-including choice of wife and when to quit his mistress. His familiar apathy is broken one night in a vicious fight with his wife, and he decides she, and everyone else, would be better off without him. Intending to spend his last moments alone, Frederick sets out into the night with his uncle's dueling pistol. He heads to the gamekeeper's cabin, but instead of solitude, he finds a woman giving birth and fighting for life; the very thing he is ready to forfeit. Can the woman he will come to call 'The Fae' help Frederick find value in his existence, or will he concede to the tides in his life? To Master the Tides is a thoughtful historical fiction novel set in the Edwardian period. It is a book for those who enjoy a story of introspection and personal growth.
