Join Ardis Lowney as she sets out on a marine biology research expedition to the sleepy coastal beaches of Portugal just as Nazi Germany tightens its grip on Europe. Ardis obtains clearance for her foray into Portuguese waters by agreeing to stow a short-wave radio below deck and report on enemy activity. In Lisbon, Ardis navigates a milieu in which both sides in the war mingle on sunny terraces and in smoky salons, and she finds herself in a serendipitous position to gather critical intelligence to aid the war effort.

Ardis encounters a German diplomat and a Catholic priest, whose secrets and agendas overlap her own, and threaten to expose her. The diplomat takes more than a passing interest in her, bringing her low profile into the limelight. Her mission in espionage takes priority over her research, and in the process, she loses touch with the person she was before the war.

Breath of the Adamastor transports readers to a tumultuous time in history. With vividly-drawn settings, complex characters, and unusual stakes, this novel is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and seaborne adventures. Follow Ardis as she experiences both the charms and hazards of Portugal in the 1940s, sinking into deeper contact with the enemy and risking everything she was trained to safeguard, to follow her heart.
