Eva Laurenson's debut bestseller now available in English.


Hamburg, 1401: Orphan Nikolas escapes the demure world of the cathedral school and enlists on a pirate ship. But he soon realizes that the entire crew is a bunch of motley vagabonds with no experience of seafaring. The following years and the search for Störtebeker's treasure sharpen their pirating techniques. Nikolas learns the finesse of navigation and experiences firsthand how hard and merciless pirate life can be...a life that has nothing in common with his childhood fantasies.
The winds of life carry him to many different places and teach him many different lessons. Will he find his destiny?
