Sea-Dogs All‪!‬

As the Severn floods Gatcombe, a man in black watches timber ships buck at their chains—and thanks heaven for the storm. When the waters fail him, he promises fire.

In Queen Elizabeth’s England, the forests and tidal villages along the Severn are a world of hard work, sudden storms and divided loyalties. Johnnie Morgan, a young forester, is drawn into danger as a secret band plots against Admiral Drake and the Queen’s rule. Their leader is Father Jerome, a cunning priest who can turn faith into a weapon and ordinary men into blind tools. With Drake’s supporters gathering and treachery taking root among the woods and waterways, Johnnie must discover whom he can trust before the conspirators strike. What will the man in black set alight when the storm has passed?
