1789. The western world is reaching for freedom. American settlers have declared independence. The Parisian mob storm the Bastille. And in England’s sleepy Devon, a fifteen-year-old orphan called Killick nets peaceably for salmon in the River Exe. Unschooled, she is determined to improve her mind. But her body has other ideas.
Circumstances force Killick to join a crew of five men headed for the rich cod banks off Newfoundland. From here, the tiny sloop will head to Portugal to sell the salted catch before returning home with wine and spices. A woman in a man’s world? This is deeply unusual, as is what lies in wait.
Days and nights of constant physical challenge. Relationships she will treasure for life. Involvement in a savage murder. And the glad knowledge that getting away has changed her forever.
Yonder. Where freedom can really take you.
