The Northman: Three Sheets to the Wind

Imagine a time when a fifteen-year-old is expected to take on adult responsibilities, to go to war, and to consider marriage.
Imagine a time when only a few consider slavery to be evil; when imperial France flexes its muscle and the sailing ship is the pinnacle of human engineering.
That time was the year 1800, a mere 220 years ago.

A romantic encounter with a disastrous outcome. A suspicious accident. An unexpected voyage. Young Martin finds himself an active participant in the African slave trade.
Copenhagen, to Portsmouth, to Madeira, to Freetown, to Accra, to St. Croix. Martin meets new friends and enemies, romance, deadly peril, and personal tragedy.

On the scorched soil of Africa, he reaches his breaking point.
