Saltblood

About this product

<p style="text-align: justify;">In a rented room outside Plymouth in 1685, a daughter is born as her half-brother is dying. Her mother makes a decision: <strong>Mary</strong> will become <strong>Mark</strong>, and <strong>Ma</strong> will continue to collect his inheritance money.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mary's dual existence as Mark will lead to a role as a footman in a grand house, serving a French mistress; to the navy, learning who to trust and how to navigate by the stars; and to the army and the battlegrounds of Flanders, finding love among the bloodshed and the mud. But none of this will stop Mary yearning for the sea.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Drawn back to the water, Mary must reinvent herself yet again, for a woman aboard a ship is a dangerous thing. This time Mary will become something more dangerous than a woman.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">She will become a pirate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Breathing life into the Golden Age of Piracy, <strong>Saltblood</strong> is a wild adventure, a treasure trove, weaving an intoxicating tale of gender and survival, passion and loss, journeys and transformation, through the story of <strong>Mary Read</strong>, one of history's most remarkable figures.</p>
