Description
Twenty-five years previously, young Liam’s small fishing village on the Irish coast was raided and its population decimated by brutal corsair pirates from the Barbary Coast who killed, plundered and took a number of his people back to northern Africa as slaves to Muslim masters.
And now a pirate ship has been wrecked in Liam’s bay and survivors are struggling ashore…
The powerfully written story of one young man’s courage and love for his family and the Muslim survivor he saves.
