It's 1850s Nantucket, the Gray Lady of the Sea, a bustling metropolis full of rolling wagons, screaming seagulls, and hawking mariners, with the smouldering smell of cooking whale oil covering all. Sheltered, and previously destitute, Mary Regina takes her first steps into this teeming caldron of island life, taking on society, ghosts, and an unknowable husband, until she becomes fearful for her life. Dream's End gives you a lush and vivid picture of Nantucket, a deep dive into the whaling era, in a suspenseful and tantalizing historical romance.
