The Salt-Bitten Roots

About this book

In the brutal expanse of the early eighteenth-century Caribbean, a fractured group of outcasts—a disgraced Spanish officer, an escaped Irish servant, and a brilliant Yoruba navigator—seize a stolen sloop to escape their harrowing pasts. As they navigate the treacherous waters of piracy, colonial oppression, and the unforgiving tropical environment, they must forge a fragile found family to survive. Hunted relentlessly by a sadistic British captain driven by legacy and descending into madness, the crew is pushed to the absolute limits of human endurance. From the squalor of a blockaded pirate republic to the terrifying depths of an uncharted jungle island, their journey is a desperate fight for freedom, forcing them to confront their shattered identities and determine what they are willing to sacrifice for a place to call home.
