The Maelstrom and the Mermaid (Order of The Amethyst Book 16)

The storm falls on Mathomdale. In the aftermath of the terrible attacks on Jennifer and Julie, the valley, still choked with crowds of festival goers, is engulfed in a terrible hurricane and now the lives of thousands are in danger. With folk displaced all over the valley by destructive winds and catastrophic flooding, the valley must pull all its people and resources together in the face of the common peril. The elegant chambers of Mathom hall are turned into a refugee centre and its slaves must step forward in their duty to become heroes of the hour.

Even as Mathomdale hunkers down under the hurricane, another storm erupts on the distant blue water of the Indian Ocean and this one the creation of people themselves.

This, the sixteenth chapter in Michaela Francis' epic saga, is a breath taking ride of danger, the heroism of people caught in extraordinary circumstance and the strength of humanity in the face of shared adversity. As the Order of the Amethyst series draws to a climax, the reader is in for a whirlwind of excitement and adventure.
