A Spanish Armada sailor’s quest for survival turns into an epic battle for love, freedom, and justice in this gripping reimagined legend of the Tudor era.

The coast of Ireland, 1588: Aboard a lone galleon, part of what once was the mighty Armada, Inyo Fernández has barely survived harrowing weeks of starvation and sea battles, when his ship is far off course, heading straight into a catastrophic storm.

In Ireland, the O’Malley chieftain’s granddaughter, Finley, has only recently discovered how badly her world is broken. And now, she and the entire clan are about to be plunged into a desperate struggle against foreign domination. So much is already at stake, and hiding an enemy of the Crown will endanger everyone’s lives even more. Finley, however, is inexplicably drawn to the stranger.

Amid uncertain days, a spark ignites between Finley and Inyo but when Finley’s kin are ambushed, Inyo and Finley unexpectedly find themselves catapulted into untold dangers across the sea.
