The Finney. A ship of the New World. A secret that could cost everything. Ireland, 1847: Sean Riordan is jailed for stealing bread to save his family. Given one impossible choice - spy on his family and friends or die behind bars - he escapes. He takes a ship to Canada. At sea, he meets Mary, a woman with secrets of her own. Together, they vanish into the new world, believing they've outrun the Crown. They haven't. An old enemy resurfaces. A storm breaks over Lake Erie. What begins as a flight for freedom becomes a deadly race through blackbirder hideouts, waterspouts, and the burning heart of America's underground resistance. The past is chasing them. The storm is closing in. At the center of it all - the Finney.
