Reenie Gyse - Paperback

by Katherine Starbird (Author)

A captivating tale of Norse Gods, sea witches and a hero in denial.

Young Elof, a descendant of Norse gods, is retracing his father's voyage around the world in a magical wooden yawl, trying to make sense of why his father abandoned the family. When charming Reenie Gyse, an aging denizen of a city marina, draws Elof from his course, he's in danger not only of failing to come to grips with his heritage, but of losing his identity entirely.

A novella from award-winning author Katherine Starbird.

An eerie, tantalizing story reminiscent of The Odyssey

The surprise ending made me laugh out loud. A must read!

On vacations and weekends, the family sailed their yawl in Tampa Bay and to far off destinations. Adventuring on the water gave Kate ample time to dream up fantastical stories.
