In the opening epic novel in the Island of Sylt trilogy by bestselling author Ines Thorn, a woman must select from love and poverty, or thrilling adventure and tormented love. Germany's North Sea Shoreline: The Island of Sylt, 1764 Life in the windswept village of Rantum in the North Sea is fraught with peril and hardship. Most households must count on arranged marriage just to endure. But free-spirited Maren Luersen doesn't look after riches - her heart and soul belongs to handsome but poor Thies Heinen. He may well not have leads or fortune to offer, but Maren recognizes their intense love can beat any obstacle, and she is motivated to be his bride-to-be. The prosperous and mystical Captain Rune Boyse has other ideas. He shocks Maren with a startling marriage proposal, and although he can provide her family a better life, her love for Thies is too powerful to deny. But when tragedy strikes, she detects herself in debt to the captain and must establish sail with him on a dangerous whale hunt - with no promise of your safe return. If Maren survives, will life be the same back again on shore? Or will her heart and soul change course anywhere on the icy swells of the Arctic Sea?
