Reynard, a young apprentice, seeks release from the drudgery of working for his fisherman uncle in the English village of Southwold.
Here Reynard must meet his destiny in a violent clash between humans and gods..
For days he drifts, starving and dying of thirst, until he is rescued by a galleon, also lost--and both are propelled by a strange current to the unknown northern isLand of Thule.
The village\'s ships are commandeered, and after a fierce battle at sea, Reynard finds himself the sole survivor of his uncle\'s devastated hoy.
His rare days off lead him to strange encounters--not just with press gangs hoping to fill English ships to fight the coming Spanish Armada, but strangers who seem to know him--one of whom casts a white shadow.
