Abstract:

"On the choppy coastline of Prince Edward Island, an ocean-phobic detective evades the deadly lure of a phantom ship by delving into her family's history and harnessing her matrilineal powers of premonition. Raina is an accomplished detective working against smugglers and traffickers on PEI, and she's eager for an imminent promotion. But there's a catch: she has to go work on a Coast Guard ship for a week. And Raina, though Island born and raised, loathes the sea. When she gets too close to it, the phantom ship starts calling to her, and the lure of its deadly cold flames threatens to overwhelm her. When she starts pulling the threads of a missing-person case, she discovers how Doiron women's uncanny abilities have impacted her ancestral line: Madeleine's powers tried to keep her family safe during the Expulsion of the Acadians in 1758; Celeste's tempted her to take back what was rightfully hers in 1864. Generation after generation of women have had to reckon with what their abilities can and can't do to protect their families."-- Provided by publisher.
