    About this ebook

    A young slave on a Bronze-Age raiding ship fights to survive the Santorini eruption, and to understand the heart of Hibya, his beautiful Minoan rescuer. Amid the turbulence of the Revolutionary era, wounded English naval officer Sebastian "Selkie" Singer flees justice, desperately trying to explain the reasons in letters to the baby girl left behind.

    What mysterious thread binds their stories?

    An epic historical novel of mystic discovery. Woven across three thousand years, from the fall of Minoan Atlantis to the dawn of the Age of Reason, The Seas Come Still invites you into the hearts of a closely-guarded sisterhood, separated by millennia, but linked by a code of love and service older than faith itself. The ignorant call them witches, mermaids, or worse, as they struggle to protect secrets older than history, and a lifestyle pressed nearly to extinction.

    A vivid and passionate imagination of the catastrophe that brought down the kingdoms of the Bronze Age, the chaos that gave birth to religions, and the astounding secrets of Minoan navigation and science. From the palaces of Canaan to the windswept coasts of western Ireland; ancient Turkey to the mountainous Basque region of Spain, The Seas Come Still takes you on an unstoppable journey across culture and language, conflict and healing, fact and fable.
    Review
    ...a joy to read. ...a Lawrentian elegance to cross-cut perspectives and scenes of mystification, all while managing to let the corporeality of these characters come into captivating focus. The polyglot texture of the novel has a wonderful way of suturing the strains of history, philosophy, and physicality. Of the various waves of desire in the novel, the desire for dialogue gains a beautiful resonance across the migratory, trans-historical coordinates of the text. The writing is always gorgeous and gripping, but Jamin's ear for dialogue stands out as enviably precise."
