Brimstone and Water Paperback - 2012

From the publisher

So much has changed, Caralynn thought, yet nothing has changed since these islands were formed. Brimstone from across the sea brought the waters that devastated a culture beyond restoration, but the land and sea remain. Everything has a story, but only a few of them are told. Orphaned as a toddler, Caralynn Davidson grieves the loss of her grandfather as she takes over the reins of the family estate near a small Swiss village, but the Brimstone and Water from millennia ago that destroyed a civilization is about to change Caralynn's life. She receives a letter from her grandfather, charging her to bring an ancient soul to rest. 'But I thought only God could bring a soul to rest, ' she whispers. Mynah is Caralynn's ancestor who is princess of Crete when the under gods attack. Mynah is transplanted into the exotic but foreign world of Egypt, where she learns that she can be welcomed into a new family but will never be able to rest until she is returned to her beloved Crete. Hoping that one day she will rejoin her family, Mynah tells her daughter and her daughter's daughters that they must satisfy her ultimate desire. For generations, Mynah has visited her daughters, and now Caralynn knows the time has come to visit Mynah. She learns in this compelling story about love and a soul crying out to be free that even Brimstone and Water cannot keep a family apart.
