Wavemaker

by F.C. Shultz

When Searlus, a young barrel maker, gets the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sail to the sacred island of his ancestors, he considers this a sign that his deity is finally turning the tides to destroy the Saluman Empire who has been oppressing the Horak people for generations.

But, when pirates surround the fleet, a storm blows in from the east, and a sea monster attacks the ship, Searlus' trust in the Wavemaker will be shaken to the core, testing his loyalty, and forcing him to come to terms with his violent crusade.

It’s officially release day! Available in print and ebook pretty much wherever you get your books.

If you want to read more about who I wrote this for, rejections from agents, and why my beard was so long a couple years ago, I wrote a full press release/publishing journey post on the new Daath Stone Books website: https://www.daathstonebooks.com/updat...

Thank you for all the support I’ve already received for this book. I couldn’t have done it without you all.

I enjoyed this epic sea faring adventure! It kept me constantly intrigued with its action packed storyline and beautifully rich descriptive world! It’s got hardships, hope, fear, triumph, friendship, and mystery! Fun read for sure! Looking forward to seeing where this story goes in the rest of the series!
