It is the reign of Charles II and Barbary pirates are causing mayhem and terror in the Mediterranean.
Nineteen-year-old Ralph Wrenn has been at sea since the age of ten. Recently promoted, he now serves as the fourth officer on the HMS Kingfisher, a new type of warship constructed to conceal weaponry behind false bulkheads.
Masquerading as a merchantman, Ralph and his men counter the attacks of pirates and capture their ships.
But when one such mission introduces him to a beautiful and intriguing young woman, itβs not just battles at sea Wrenn must contend with, as this beguiling stranger is certainly not all she appears to be.
Based on true exploits of the Kingfisher, leading to the battle of the seven Algerines, this thrilling novel is perfect for lovers of swashbuckling naval adventures...M.F
