Charlie Wheeler is a young girl, disguised as a boy, serving on the Commodore's flagship, in the War of 1812. She is stalked by a vicious predator who knows her secret, loved by a surgeon's mate who doesn't, and assigned one of the most dangerous jobs on the ship, when the Americans take on the British at the Battle of Plattsburgh. The action is non-stop and the emotional roller coaster is heart wrenching, in this historically accurate tale of love and war, by award-winning novelist, Mark Barie.
