Silver Dagger

by Johnny Payne

The witches are chasing Liam Boyd. Can he keep them from flying him across the sky? This epic tale of adventure in 18th century Ireland and America takes Liam from the fishing village of his youth through rebellion and seduction while he plays his fiddle and becomes a great builder of ships. Along the way he falls under the spell of a prostitute, a Viscountess, and a simple country girl. Whether captive aboard a slave ship, working as an itinerant preacher, surviving a city fire in the American Revolution, or piloting a boat down the half-frozen Ohio River, Liam embraces the wild contradictions of his world. Alongside him lies the silver dagger that holds the key to his identity.
