Description
Before the beginning of the nineteenth century, the infamous revolution swept over France, with many falling victim to 'Madam Guillotine' and her horrors. Also, before the turn of the century, the conflict between France and the varied nations of Europe, including England continued until 1814. England remained in continuous hostilities with France, and since France considered them a most important adversary, who at any cost, must be defeated. In 1802, the Treaty of Amiens was achieved, which brought eighteen months of relative peace.
Our story begins near the end of this treaty with Lieutenant Richard Welch, who has served for twelve years in His Majesty's Royal Navy. The French are preparing to once again restart hostilities, and rumors have been spread by French Intelligence pertaining to a mysterious 'ghost ship' meant to play on the fears and superstitions of many English sailors. As First Officer aboard the HMS Essex, Richard and the ships crew are pursued twice by this ship, Ombre de Cordeau or Ravens shadow, during the treaty. Now, the conflict has resumed, and assuming the rank of captain, Richard is thrust into the forefront of the hunt for this mysterious ship.
In the meantime, a young woman, Katharine comes into his life.
This book is styled for an audience of older teens and adults.
