When her village is attacked, Christopher makes a noble sacrifice and comes face to face with Leviathan--a godless spirit of chaos--and its world of forced slavery, jihad, and the clash of empires.Yet even as the years pass, he cannot forget the coastal mist of the sea cove that he and Raven once shared as the setting of their tragic romance and the surprising site of a legendary treasure that could change their fate forever. Muslim pirates, Christian slaves and an epic struggle for love in exotic places, 'The Pursuit of Leviathan' will carry you across perilous lands and into a historical portrait of unthinkable evil and surprising good.
