‘The Ghost Ship’ is the third novel in The Joubert Family Chronicles and sequel to The City of Tears.
‘The Ghost Ship’ synopsis: The Barbary Coast, 1621. A mysterious vessel floats silently on the water. It is known only as the Ghost Ship.
For months it has hunted pirates to liberate those enslaved during the course of their merciless raids, manned by a courageous crew of mariners from Italy and France, Holland and the Canary Islands. And all of them, including their captain, are intent on escaping their past…
And now the Ghost Ship is under attack – its hull splintered, its sails tattered and burnt, and the crew at risk of capture.
But the bravest among those on board are not who they seem… The stakes could not be higher: if arrested, they will be hanged for their alleged crimes. Can they survive the journey and escape their fate?
A sweeping and epic love story, ranging from France in 1610 to Amsterdam and the Canary Islands in the 1620s.
The event was organised by Nantwich Bookshop & Coffee Lounge.
Event organisers Steve & Denise Lawson, from the Nantwich Bookshop & Coffee Lounge, said: “Thank you to all who attended this great event and supported your local Independent Bookshop. Thank you to Kate Mosse for ending her tour with us, a very entertaining evening.
