More Than Life

By: Bethanie Finger

The day that death comes knocking on 19-year-old Cordelia Kimball’s door, her life falls apart. Not only has she lost her blood father, an honorable and high-ranking sea captain, but the high society that once welcomed her is now eager to cast her off. Left alone in the world, Cordelia seeks a life as a barmaid, unaware of the secrets her father kept before his passing. One of those secrets is Jaspar Marlow, the great captain’s trusted friend and mentee. Charged to deliver the captain’s daughter a mysterious letter, Jaspar is keen to return to his lifelong mission, finding the mythical Qualaris, an island said to grant eternal life. A legend to most, but a potential curse breaker for Jaspar. Bound by fate, Cordelia and Jaspar must team up and use the captain’s letter to locate and protect Qualaris from the shadowy grasp of an evil sorcerer, before all chances of power and immortality are lost with the sea. *Friendly Warning: More Than Life is the first book in the More Than Life trilogy, and ends on a cliffhanger.
