Fueled by the murder of his wife at the hands of British soldiers, American
privateer Captain Jonas Hawke is determined to make Britain pay.
Grief-stricken
and filled with fury, Jonas delves deeper into war, accompanied by a personal
vendetta and his loyal crew. During a brutal raid on a port city, one of his
men crosses an unthinkable line, forcing Jonas to reckon with his distorted
definition of vengeance.
Concerned that his wrath will bring
irreparable harm to the cause for America’s freedom, Jonas grapples with
his role as a soldier and as a man. When he learns the Royal Navy is tracking
his ship, he fears his deadly decisions may have cost him everything.
It’s too late to turn back now. Instead, he must continue to face the
inevitable perils of war.
Action-packed and rich with authentic historical
detail, Perilous Shores is a gripping tale of revenge, survival, and the
relentless pursuit of justice.
