Undine of Deadrise Bay

A retired federal agent runs from killers and finds temporary peace in a remote cabin. But something is calling out to him. He can’t escape his own past, or the present of his young granddaughter, whom he abandoned by running away. The connections are more than familial. He sees things other people don’t see: a young girl running away, and a woman fighter in as much trouble as he is, himself. And his granddaughter senses a grandfather she barely knows, reaching out to her.

In the distant future, a woman passes her trials to become a warrior in the art of hand-to-hand and blade fighting. Most know her as the daughter of a regional trade magnate, but some know a different story. When someone more powerful than she arrives, the woman’s past leaves her facing a new threat. Can the voice in her head-an old man from a distant place who talks about his granddaughter-keep her alive?

Maine author Todd Woofenden’s Undine of Deadrise Bay is for readers who love a fast-moving story with well-drawn, interesting characters that leave you eager to read on.
