Bristol, England, 1618. Kit Faulkner is a young vagrant orphan, but his life changes forever at the age of sixteen when two gentlemen, one a former privateer, Sir Henry Mainwaring, spot his potential and he is taken aboard their merchant ship to be trained for a life at sea. As he rises through the ranks, eventually captaining his own ship, he risks all in encounters with pirates and French corsairs. Meanwhile, England edges ever closer to civil war, and very soon Kit must choose which side he will fight for . . .
