A swashbuckling adventure of love and danger on a deserted island from one of the early twentieth century?s most popular and prolific writers. Aboard the English steamship Sirdar, Iris Deane is on a course that will forever change her life. Heading straight for a typhoon in the South China Sea, the ship breaks in two on a barrier reef, and young Iris is pulled to safety by sailor Robert Jenks. The shipwreck?s only survivors, the two find themselves washed ashore on a desert island. Marooned with little hope of rescue, Iris and Robert battle storms, wild animals, and head-hunting island natives, drawing upon each other?s strength and courage. But the undeniable attraction between them grows, the truth of Robert?s past threatens their blossoming romance and potential future?should they survive the island?s dangers. First published in 1903, Louis Tracy?s The Wings of the Morning: A Tale of Shipwreck, Adventure & Romance is an exciting story of Indiana Jones-esque daring-do, thrills, and mystery.
