About this audiobook
The whaling town of Monkshaven becomes a stage for heartbreak when the King's Navy steals a groom from his bride. A calculating rival steps into the void, building a life on a foundation of lies and omitted truths. The return of the past brings a reckoning that no one can escape. Taste the salt spray and the bitterness of stolen time.
