The novel follows the journey of a young sailor named Miguel, who is a member of the Spanish Armada. Miguel is a loyal and dedicated sailor who believes in the cause of the Armada. However, as the fleet sails towards England, he begins to question his loyalty and the motives of the Spanish King. Along the way, he meets a young English girl named Elizabeth, who challenges his beliefs and helps him see the humanity in their enemies. As the Armada approaches the English coast, Miguel is faced with a difficult decision. Will he follow his heart and abandon the Armada, or will he stay true to his loyalty and fight for his country?

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Although familiar to the theatrical world, it is, perhaps, not fenerally known that the late accomplished actor, Mr. T. P. Cooke, equeathed a sum of money to the Royal Dramatic College, the interest of which, at certain intervals, was, in the form of a prize, to be given to the Author of the best original Nautical or National Drama, the awardment of such prize being regulated by the conditions which usually govern a public competition. The prize was 100, and the successful candidate was required, by the stipulations of Mr. Cooke swill, to surrender to theD ramatic College all right and control over the future of his drama, theM aster and Council of the said College possessing the exclusive right of determining at what theatre the piece in question should be performed, and also appropriating all profits that might arise to the benefit of the excellent Institution over which they preside. In a pecuniary sense, the reward was certainly not a tempting one, and the conditions linked with it of a somewhat stringent and irritating nature. But there is always something animating in a contest. Besides, it was of course imperative that the pieces sent in should be original. The plot and incidents could not be filched from continental dramatists, and this (to me at least) imparted, an additional zest for trying a fall in an arena from which the plunder of Parisian theatres was to be rigidly excluded. For these reasons, in a rash hour, I was tempted to become a candidate for the T. P. Cooke Prize, though not, I confess, without sundry warnings to abandon my intention. Most of ns, I believe, possess amongst our circle of friends one whose peculiarity it is to see everything through the medium of a very gloomy atmosphere. I, at any rate, am blessed with, one of these unpleasant, but useful Mentors, who thus, with almost cheerful alacrity, at once pointed out a Rock ahead
