Born during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, young Cornishman Roger Kilter leaves his native fishing village and journeys to Plymouth, to join the fleet of Sir Francis Drake. Destined to face the mighty Spanish Armada, Roger’s adventures in port and at sea are both amorous and dangerous reflecting the violence and passions of those times.

Even more tumultuous for Roger than the seas of war are the currents of love and desire anchored deep in the long-standing bitter feud between two Cornish families.

Follow Roger’s journey of discovery...

Will he be forever seduced by the life of a seafarer and all the temptations of a bustling port? Can he resist the abundant charms of the lusty but capricious Bess? Can he survive the thrilling battle with the Spanish Armada aboard The Revenge? Or, will he return home to Cornwall and the lovely Bridget, spurned and forsaken?
