In the winter of 1754, Corrinne de Chanaye and Philippe Gerrard flee the corruption of New France to the city of Boston, hoping to begin a new life in the Massachusetts colony. In the center hold of the Falcon Queen, they bring with them a hex-sealed coffin containing the hand and jawbone of a vulnax wraith, a creature from a seven-hundred-year-old legend. Across the ocean, this ancient evil has stirred. Freed from its grave, it possesses Wilhelm von Kleinfels, a Hessian major, who is sent in pursuit. His orders are clear. Find the coffin, break the seal, release the wraith, and kill Philippe, Corrinne, and their children. The compelling Tales of the Ghost Eagle continue as the war between England and France escalates with the arrival of the European armies battling for control of North America. It is a vivid story of adventure, romance, coming of age, and the occult during the years of the French and Indian War.
