    Got it! Thanks, Jeannette. And I’m sorry, Marie! I hope everyone who wants to read it can get to it now.

    The uninhabited island lay thirty meters to port, and somewhere beyond the white sand beach an ambush. In the star-filled blackness of night neither were visible to the man standing alone on the bow of the ship, but the sound of the waves rolling across the wide, shallow reef placed the island, and the Captain had warned of Fuentes’ presence. Unfortunately, both were more apparent than the family’s destiny the old woman on Haiti had seen when she threw the bones.

    You can see Sean O’Mordha’s novel hook in the final week’s free edits.
