Kingfisher

17th Century – Charles II’s reign.

Barbary pirates spread mayhem and terror in the Mediterranean.

Ralph Wrenn went to sea at the age of ten. Now nineteen and recently promoted, he serves as the fourth officer on the HMS Kingfisher.

It masquerades as a merchant ship to capture Barbary pirate vessels.

On one such mission Ralph meets a beautiful and intriguing young woman. Now he must contend not just with battles at sea, but a beguiling stranger who is not what she appears to be.

Based on the true exploits of HMS Kingfisher, culminating in the battle of the seven Algerines, this thrilling novel is perfect for lovers of naval adventures.
