About This Book

A young man, discovering a rival for the woman he loves, follows her aboard the same ship to prevent their separation. The narrative blends romantic tension and maritime adventure, tracing shipboard rivalries, hazardous passages toward southern seas, and rescues at sea. Hints of the rival's violent, distant past and shifting loyalties complicate trust, while visits to foreign ports and remote islands introduce peril, a shark incident, and an isolated hermit. These episodes test characters' courage, constancy, and honor as personal relationships and legal and moral consequences unfold during a prolonged ocean voyage.
