Standing at the bow of a ship is a perfect time to think about beginnings and endings; the beginning and ending of the day, of life or simply the rolling waves underneath the ship. But for Wilamina Turner, standing at the bow of the ship started the change in everything.

You see, Wilamina Turner, or 'Will' to her friends, was leaving everything she had ever know, ever loved to find her father – a merchant sailor.

Standing watching the colour of the sea slowly change, Will finally realised that her whole life was changing. And it did – blindingly fast. One moment they were calmly sailing along to Fort James and the next all hell broke loose.

Timber and limbs flying through the air, along with a general sense of confusion. It was all so sudden. But the men aboard the 'Falcon' did their best to fight back against the enemy shrouded in mystery – all the while trying to protect a young girl.

Panic. That was the only emotion going through said girl. Being dragged around the burning deck, by men who were dropping like flies, panic was the only thing she could so.

That is until a piece of wood struck her on the back of the head, rendering her unconscious – but not before she caught sight of a ship. A ship with black sails.
