Book ID/图书代码： 07204012B53653
English Summary/英文概要： Plymouth 1570; Ellyn Cooksley fears for her elderly father’s health when he declares his intention to sail with Drake on an expedition he has been backing. Already yearning for escape from the loveless marriage planned for her, Ellyn boards the expedition ship as a stowaway. Also aboard the Swan is Will Doonan, Ellyn’s charming but socially inferior neighbour. Will has courted Ellyn playfully without any real hope of winning her, but when she is discovered aboard ship, dressed in the garb of a cabin boy, he is furious.
To Will’s mind, Drake’s secret plot to attack the Spanish bullion supply in the New World is a means to the kind of wealth with which he might win a girl like Ellyn, but first and foremost it is an opportunity to avenge his brother Kit, taken hostage and likely tortured to death by the Spanish. For the sake of the mission he supports Drake’s plan to abandon Ellyn and her father on an island in the Caribbean until their mission is completed. But will love prove more important than revenge or gold?

德雷克密谋向西班牙在新世界黄金储备仓发动攻击，对威尔而言，这是机会。他可以获得财富,还可肯能赢得像艾琳这样的女孩子。但是，当下最重要是的利用机会替他的哥哥凯特报仇。凯特被西班牙人抓获，沦为人质，而且还有可能已被折磨致死。为了完成使命，他支持德雷克在任务完成前将艾琳和她的父亲遗弃在加勒比的一个海岛上。但是爱情能否会证明自己比复仇和黄金更加重要？(XMM)
Awards/获奖情况：’A tempestuous, vividly wrought tale of a girl who flees the confines of her world, in a time when Drake roamed the seas in the name of the Virgin Queen. Beautifully written and researched, this tale of desire, revenge, piracy, war and valour is so evocative we can taste salt on our skin and hear the swoop of sails overhead as we’re swept up into a high-stakes adventure unlike any we’ve read before.’ - C.W. Gortner, author of The Confessions of Catherine de Medici
