Leaving On The Tide

Three young men set out to seek their destiny.

Myo is on a quest for the Fair Land, searching for the world of love and harmony that the Shaihen minstrels sing about.

Therro just dreams of freedom. A clear horizon and a ship to call his own.

Both of them are on a collison course with Roskos Atton. The offspring of Imperial nobility, Roskos believes he was born to rule. His ruthless ambition shapes the world in which Myo and Therro pursue their dreams.

As reality begins to bite, both realise that it will take a little Shaihen magic to make their dreams come true. But can Myo find it? Is Shaihen magic real or just a myth? Will Therro's wit and courage be enough to overcome the poverty and prejudice that tries to deny him his heritage, or will he eventually have to surrender his freedom to the higher authority?

Leaving on the Tide is a tale of piracy and political intrigue, full of thrills, spills, love and lust. It also asks questions about the myths of our own history.

What the readers say about the Shaihen Heritage series:

"...this power house of creative imagination, action, adventure and subtle social critique is simply astounding."
