Pursuit of the Raven: Volume 1

Set in the early 1800s, the narrative follows Richard Welch, a British Naval officer who rises to captain aboard the HMS Essex. His mission is to track down the French warship Ombre de Cordeau, also known as Raven's Shadow. As he navigates the high seas, Welch develops an uncanny sense of connection with its captain, Armand Gerbier, suggesting a deeper, possibly fateful link between the two men amid the backdrop of naval warfare.
