Historical Fantasy
Date Published: April 10
Publisher: Culper Press
In the summer of 1869, beleaguered for-hire killer Zach Dimitru arrives in Eastport, Maine, bearing an amulet and searching for absolution. His salvation is dependent on the Benoit Family, who are also pitiless and tormented. Zach’s deliverance is reliant on Juliette Benoit. The young woman is grieving the loss of her soul mate, whom she believes has reincarnated without her. Miraculously, the amulet imparts messages to Juliette. The fate of both Zach and Juliette, as well as the town, depends upon her ability to learn and convey those lessons before the arrival of a hurricane—one with the force to devastate Eastport.
Review from Fantasy Author:
The Shipbuilder is moody and somewhat grim. It has a strong undercurrent of fate and magic at its core, strongly reminding this reader of the work of Daphne du Maurier and Emily Brontë. With her passion for history and the accurate portrayal of the period, author Salina B Baker brings this time and place to harsh, vivid life. In doing so, she’s crafted a resonant and compellingly readable novel.
— Susan Rooke, author of The Space Between
This was a fantasy novel that really made me think on a deeper level than most Fantasy novels.
I liked that this novel is written historically, but can be enjoyed by all fans of Fantasy.
There is a lot going on and a lot to understand since you are diving into a new world. I think that Salina Baker really managed to keep her readers up to speed by giving them just enough along the way without making them feel lost or bogged down with information.
