Abe Skinner, a seasoned sea captain haunted by grief and responsibility, leads the schooner Hesperia from Newfoundland across the treacherous winter seas of 1916. Driven by desperation to provide coal for his Newfoundland hometown, Skinner and his crew face the punishing whims of nature, the shadows of war, and personal demons that threaten to unravel them all.

As the Hesperia battles storms, shifting cargo, and the chilling mystery of ambergris treasure, every choice becomes a measure of character and fate. At home, Abe’s wife, Kate, clings to hope and the fragile threads of family, keeping watch for the return of those she loves as another Christmas passes with only silence from the sea. When disaster strikes on the icy shores of Langlade, survival hangs by a thread—and the cost of courage is written in the relentless waves.

Sweeping from the coal mines of Nova Scotia to the wild Atlantic and into the hearts of those left waiting, Evening Star is an unforgettable story of love, sacrifice, and the enduring bonds that shape us, even after the storm.
