Hull, 1804.

Captain Swift has never commanded a whaling ship before, let alone one the size of the Sovereign. On the trip to Greenland and the North Ground, they will hunt the bowhead whale and harvest the blubber and baleen that are worth a fortune back in Hull. The job is gruesome and dangerous.

Pack ice can crush or trap a ship. The cold punishes. With one flick of her tail, a bowhead whale can split a boat in half, and once a man is in the ice water, he's dead.

When the Sovereign picks up two stowaway women in Shetland, Swift is too green to toss them overboard. He is not ruthless enough to command these rough Hull lads or use their skills to his advantage. He is out of his depth.

Perhaps the Sovereign will not make it back home after all, perhaps with Swift in command, she was never meant to.
