James Hawke has a tavern in Devon, a swift boat, and a discreet side-business in smuggling.
When Parliament demands new oaths and the struggle between King and Commons spreads across the country, the conflict Hawke hoped to avoid closes in around him.
His quiet harbor is torn apart.
In the swashbuckling tradition of Treasure Island and The Three Musketeers, Captain Hawke brings the chaotic 1640s to life in a gripping adventure of storm-tossed seas, clashing faiths, and one man’s struggle to hold fast while England descends into civil war.
