An unexpected reunion, the search for an elixir, a pirate’s risky bargain, untamed wild horses, shadows of witches and sea monsters...what else must Dory overcome to save her dying Aunt Orlie? It’s 1696 and Dory and her aunt and uncle have relocated from Salem in the Massachusetts Bay colony to the eastern shore of the Virginia colony. Since the journey, her Aunt Orlie has suffered from a painful stomach ailment. When Calum, an old friend from Scotland, arrives with Mercy, a new friend of his, they join Dory on a dangerous and uncertain quest to find a cure.
