Stolen by the Sea is a dark, gripping historical thriller set on the lawless coasts of the 1650s, where piracy, smuggling, and betrayal thrive in the shadows of respectable villages.
When masked raiders storm a quiet shoreline cottage at night and abduct his two children, shipwright Thomas Harker is thrust into a ruthless underworld of coastal gangs, false priests, hidden coves, and organized pirate networks. With no help from the law and betrayal lurking close to home, Thomas abandons his ordinary life and sets out across dangerous waters to hunt the men who took his family.
His search leads him through smuggler routes, secret ledgers, corrupt clergy, and deadly traps designed to break desperate fathers. Each clue pulls him deeper into a structured trafficking ring run by calculating sea-wolves who treat human lives as cargo - and who are already watching him in return.
As the chase stretches from hidden coves to open sea, Thomas must become more than a craftsman - he must become a hunter - or lose his children forever.
A sweeping, suspense-driven saga of loss, endurance, vengeance, and the terrifying reach of maritime crime, Stolen by the Sea blends historical realism with relentless tension and emotional depth.
