Publisher's Synopsis
Kidnapped as a boy and kept as a slave on a pirate ship, young Jacob dreams of freedom, and of one day discovering the fabled island of the Mer people. With fellow shipmate Grant, Jacob escapes and finds refuge in Granada. But stories of Cerulean Isle, land of the Merfolk, continue to haunt him. One day a stranger appears and Jacob and Grant are forced to confront their past. They must embark on a dangerous voyage to flee from the pirates that seek their lives. In the process, Jacob at last discovers the truth behind legendary Cerulean Isle. "Cerulean Isle opens with a powerful and dramatic scene, and moves on from there to weave a wonderful story with colorful characters skillfully brought to life. Browning's descriptions of life on board the Obsidian are excellent." Bob Steele Author, Spin and Conflicts of Interest "From the intriguing opening onwards, Cerulean Isle is vivid and compelling, rich in atmosphere and enigma. The overlap of historical fiction and fantasy is extremely effective. It's tempting to think of this as a highly cinematic narrative, but I don't think cinema could really do it justice." Ivan Phillips Author, Johnny Face-Ache
