Pine Tree Island

A Novel from Ibiza's Dawn

Ibiza, 650 BC...

In the golden age of the Phoenicians, only the western reaches of the Great Sea remain uncharted.

Kaly, a restless teenager from the ancient port of Tyre, escapes the clutches of her fiendish grandmother, high priestess of the Goddess. She flees west with her father, a famed helmsman and explorer. Together, they discover the fabled Pine Tree Island, where they build a new home with a motley crew of fellow adventurers.

But the wooded isle is not as empty as they think, so when danger catches up with her from the East, Kaly is trapped between the peril they know and something darker lurking in the endless and impenetrable forests.
