Welcome

In Darrell Kastin's novel, The Undiscovered Island, Julia Castro travels to her family's ancestral home in the Azores, after her father’s disappearance, to find the islands abuzz with tales of ghost ships, seductive sirens, and a new island emerging from the sea. Searching for her father, Julia succumbs to the bewitching allure of the Azores, and to Nicolau, a fellow musician. She discovers a place where dreams lie just beyond the horizon, shrouded in mist. History, legend, poetry and myth, seamlessly interwoven, explore the line between fate and self-determination, past and present, reality and illusion—a lyrical evocation of a locale and a people.

Praise
