About this audiobook
Jacob Fletcher is unsure of his parentage, but he does know that, as an apprentice, he couldn't legally be seized by the press gang. This particular gang, however, didn't abide by the law. Fletcher finds himself risking life, limb and sea sickness to save his fortune now at risk of being lost to his evil step-mother and loathsome half-brothers.
