Description
Captain Jonathan Haraden's coldblooded courage in the fires of battle earned him the nickname "the Salamander". At the Revolution's outbreak, he joined the militia guarding the seacoast, but his passion for the sea drew him to the fledgling Massachusetts navy. A dashing sea captain, tall and handsome, Jon captured hearts as easily as ships, but his own belonged to Hannah, his young wife he lost to fever. Devastated, he sets sail with a vengeance, entrusting his young daughters to Eunice, a preacher's daughter and a widow whose quiet strength steadies his home. Commanding the Tyrannicide, Jon seizes British prizes and vital dispatches for General Washington. But he chafes at the state's inefficiencies. Wanting more freedom, he accepts command of the privateer General Pickering, backed by Salem merchants who hail his daring and skill. Adored by his crew and feared by the enemy, Jon becomes a legend, capturing ships with unmatched audacity. Yet, haunted by Hannah's loss, Jon wonders if the sea will be his only mistress.
