| Summary Note |
The year is 1616. When a catastrophic flood hits the Somerset coast, young sailor-in-disguise Fortune gets the blame. Locals are convinced witchcraft is at work. And Fortune, who is secretive, suspiciously good at swimming and, to everyone's surprise, a girl, is an obvious scapegoat. Even saving the life of her rival's only son doesn't clear her name. If anything, it makes matters worse... |
