Publisher's Synopsis
Spring of the year 1720...Young girl of the bourgeoisie, Blandine Veyre lives with her family in the majestic Phocaean city located in the South of the French Kingdom. On her sixteenth birthday, she receives a wonderful gift, a leisure voyage in the company of her brother, a naval Officer, onboard an impressive three-masted ship called 'Lacydon'. However, very soon the first journey will turn into a series of unexpected and sometimes painful as well as solitary adventures. Finally, she will experience anxiety and fear when the 'Brigantine' appears...'Tonight I go back very early to my cabin. The previous night I didn't get much sleep and despite the raging sea, I think that the fatigue of staying awake for such a long time will eventually take its toll on me. And I got so sick, I think I won't be sick at all anymore! However, my anxiety is great about the worrying events that are coming up and in order to reassure me, I keep on my wrist my precious gold bracelet, which I used to take off every night. Perhaps this splendid and charming jewel will succeed in protecting me from the storm and its malevolent effects.'
