Charlie Book and Ruby Cahill have history. After their love ended in heartbreak years ago they never expected to see each other again. Now as part of his work for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Book lives aboard the Christabel a 19th century freighter half-sunken off the shore of Galveston. Over many years a massive forest of mangrove trees has grown up through the deck of the ship creating a startlingly beautiful enigma Book calls the Floating Forest. As a powerful storm churns through the Gulf he intends to sleep on board as usual. But when he arrives at the dock he?s stunned to find Ruby there waiting for him. And she?s not alone. With her are a mysterious woman and her infant child asking Book to hide them safely aboard the Christabel while they're on the run. Only it isn?t the police who are after them it?s a coven of witches the woman Mae has fled stealing away the helpless infant for whom the coven had hideous plans?or so Mae claims. It?s lunacy and Book wants nothing to do with it. But after the way he and Ruby ended things and the unspoken pain between them he can?t refuse. Yet even as he brings them out to the ruined ship and its floating forest there are shadowed figures looming back in Galveston waiting out the storm. And despite the worsening wind and rain the night birds are flying scouring the coastline for their prey.
