Trilogy: Book one
by HELGE THORSEN
TRUE STORY: February 17, 1798. Off the coast of Leka, Norway, two ships are caught in a merciless storm—the French privateer L’Enfant de la Patrie and the British merchant vessel S/S Aurora.
SECRETS OF THE SEA
Marine biologist Aria Montgomery believed her family’s legend was just a story—until her grandmother’s death leaves her with a weathered diary, an antique medallion, and a map tied to a shipwreck lost in 1798.
Tracing the trail from the archives of northern France to the cold waters off the Norwegian coast, Aria uncovers a conspiracy rooted in stolen gold, corruption, and murder. The deeper she digs into the past, the more dangerous the present becomes.
Someone wants the truth to stay buried. And they are willing to kill to protect it.
Secrets of the Sea is the first book in a historical mystery thriller trilogy where past and present collide beneath the surface.
Helge lives a varied life and has many talents - alternating between being in Spain in the winter and Norway in the summer. He has many books that are a mix of truth and fiction.
