Jack Starland and Warrenia Rowland grew up together in San Francisco, raised like siblings beneath the same roof. Now Jack commands his own yacht, the Warrenia, and he's about to sail around Cape Horn into a South America torn apart by revolution and betrayal. When he arrives, he finds an old friend entangled in dangerous political intrigue, and a general whose ambitions threaten everything Jack holds dear. What begins as a voyage of adventure becomes a test of loyalty, honor, and the heart. Ellis weaves together the bold adventure of old-fashioned sea narratives with the tender complications of first love discovered far from home. This is a book for readers who want to feel the salt spray, hear the drums of rebellion in the mountains, and watch two people realize that the world is far vaster and more treacherous than their innocent youth ever prepared them for.
