Far from Spain, there are rumors of a beautiful princess held prisoner by a witch and islands that possess innumerable wealth. Three captains set out to rescue the princess and claim the treasure, but what they find is not entirely what they expected. Bounty of the Atoll combines fairy tales with history and a hint of romance. In addition to the novella, the text includes an essay on the Marshall Islands and another on the history that this tale uses as its inspiration.

Dawn Vogel has been published as a short fiction author and an editor of both fiction and non-fiction. Her academic background is in history, so it's not surprising that much of her fiction is set in earlier times. By day, she edits reports for historians and archaeologists. In her alleged spare time, she runs a craft business, helps edit Mad Scientist Journal, and tries to find time for writing. She lives in Seattle with her awesome husband (and fellow author), Jeremy Zimmerman, and their herd of cats.
