Swashbuckling adventure on the high seas - and a young man's quest for justice . . .

It is the 1690s and young Matthew Stalbone dreams of going to sea. Studying the new science of navigation is his only means of escape from the Whitby coal wharves. But his dream of plying an honest trade is wrecked on the Essex shoals.

Swept away to the Spanish Main, Matthew is plunged into a bloody life of pillage and prize money. Struggling always to adhere to his own code of honour yet seduced by life at sea, Matthew carries in his heart his hope of reclaiming the legacy rightfully his; and winning the hand of Abigail, the girl he left behind in Whitby, engaged to a rich man.

Fierce sea battles, lawless privateers, naval skirmishes and ruthless slave traders combine in a story of adventure and high dramas during one of the most colourful periods in maritime history.
