The Weaver's Map of Tides

About this book

In 1740s Brittany, the coastal village of Saint-Malo is a hub for privateers and secrets. Kervella 'Kervi' Louarn, a young Breton weaver with an uncanny ability to navigate by the stars and tides, discovers a stolen maritime chart woven into an old tapestry. This map doesn't lead to gold, but to the mythical 'Isle of Lost Winds,' a sanctuary said to exist outside colonial jurisdictions. When Kervi's mentor is abducted by the ruthless Captain Kofi Agyeman—an Akan privateer seeking redemption for a past betrayal—Kervi must form an unlikely alliance with Drago Kalderash, a Romani horse-trader with a talent for subterfuge, and Esi, a brilliant stowaway fleeing servitude. Together, they embark on a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, pursued by the French Navy and rival treasure hunters. As storms rage and loyalties fracture, the trio must rely on courage and friendship to survive the high seas and unlock the mystery of the map before it falls into hands that would use it to enslave rather than liberate.
