In 1741, Flora Burn sailed not as a stowaway or in disguise, but as herself-one of the only documented women to serve openly as a privateer on the American East Coast. Flora Burn: The Silent Sailor is a sweeping, historically-accurate adventure rooted in truth and rendered with emotional depth, following the extraordinary life of a girl born to Scottish immigrants in colonial New England who defied every expectation.
From the rough wharves of her fishing village to the rigging of the HMS Revenge, Flora's path is marked by tragedy, defiance, and the relentless call of the sea. She learned to fight for herself early-first against boys who mocked her, later against men who sought to define her. When her father is murdered for a crime he didn't commit and the only witness vanishes, Flora is thrust into a world where silence becomes survival. Ten years later, war opens a door to purpose-and revenge.
Chosen among a crowd of sailors for a privateering voyage during the War of Jenkins' Ear, Flora proves herself in combat, strategy, and sacrifice. Alongside her distant cousin Felix and a war-worn crew, she battles Spanish ships, disease, and the weight of grief. When fate divides the crew and leaves them with a difficult choice-freedom or duty-Flora must decide where her loyalty truly lies.
This novel is not just a tale of sea battles and survival; it is a reclamation of a forgotten life. Flora Burn: The Silent Sailor brings voice to a woman history nearly silenced. Includes a real historical timeline in the back to help separate myth from fact.
