Description
Boston, 1833. Hiram Carver takes up his first position as ship's doctor aboard the USS Orbis as it embarks from Boston and surges south to round Cape Horn. It is here that he meets William Borden, a sailor whose presence has a profound effect on him. Borden's past is shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain: his experiences at sea have left an indelible mark on him. Years earlier, he had saved several men from mutiny and led them to safety across the Pacific. Now, as Carver gets to know him, he begins to uncover the truth about that fateful voyage. As Carver delves deeper into Borden's story, he must confront the darkness that has haunted him ever since his time on the Orbis. A tale of savagery and reason, of man and monster, Elizabeth Lowry's novel is a gripping exploration of the human condition.
