A Queen's Privateer

The sea is no refuge. It's a battlefield.

When Queen Elizabeth's spymaster calls, Jack Stannard has little choice but to answer. Once a London thief with salt in his blood, now pressed into a voyage across the Atlantic, Jack finds himself aboard The Lucianna-a battered privateer charged with charting Spain's hidden empire.

Beside him: Richard Fitzwarren, the Queen's cold-eyed envoy with secrets of his own... and Emilio, a knight exiled from Malta whose blade is as sharp as his tongue. Together, they must cross storms, stalked seas, and Spanish guns to carry out a mission that could tilt the balance of power between England and Spain.

But betrayal cuts closer than cannon-fire.
Rival ships prowl the waters. Enemies whisper in the dark. And Jack soon learns that survival depends on more than a steady hand at the sword-it depends on knowing who to trust when every man hides a mask.

From London's crooked alleys to the burning coasts of the New World, A Queen's Privateer is a sweeping tale of espionage, treachery, and adventure on the high seas.

Fans of Bernard Cornwell, C.S. Forester, and Patrick O'Brian will be swept away on a tide of danger, discovery, and the clash of empires.
