The year is 1629 and little Mayken and Imke her nursemaid are on board en route to her father.
But this sinister ships has dark happenings stirring and its affecting crew and passengers alike, the tension is unbearable and unbeknownst the lives of everyone are in danger.

The premise sounded brilliant and it was a good read and well written but I just dont think it was my kind of book.
Definitely one for the for fans of true life history mixed in with a bit of fantasy and myth.
