Echoes of the Highlands: Beneath Black Sails
The sea was supposed to carry Ewan MacCalrie away from Scotland.
Instead, it delivers him into the hands of pirates.
After fleeing the burned remains of his Highland home, Ewan boards the merchant ship Annabel and sails west in search of safety, distance, and the chance to begin again. But the Atlantic offers no clean escape. When black sails appear on the horizon, the life he has only just begun to rebuild is shattered.
Cast aboard the feared pirate ship Wraith, Ewan finds himself trapped among men who survive by violence, loyalty, and fear. Its captain, the ruthless Redmarrow, rules with the cold certainty of a man who believes every soul has a price. To stay alive, Ewan must learn the ways of the ship, earn the trust of dangerous men, and decide how far he is willing to bend before he no longer recognizes the person he has become.
Yet the Highlands are never far from him.
A hidden letter, a familiar scrap of tartan, and the memory of those he left behind remind Ewan that his past has crossed the ocean with him. As blood is spilled and loyalties shift, he begins to understand that freedom is not simply a place beyond the horizon. It is a choice-and one that may cost him everything.
Beneath Black Sails is the second novel in the Echoes of the Highlands series, a sweeping historical adventure of survival, identity, friendship, and the long journey toward a new world.
