The Siren Sea

Family tragedy propels Spanish youth, Tomas Alvarado, into the brutal world of sixteenth century naval warfare when he sails with the famed Spanish Armada to make war on Elizabeth1's Protestant England. His harrowing battle for survival sees him confronting not only the English, epitomized by the wily Sir Francis Drake, but violent storms, hostile foreigners, and those who stand in the way of his all-consuming love for a girl who dramatically alters his allegiances. Tomas's Spanish heritage is traced over five centuries in a spellbinding story that explores the mysterious pull of the sea, and its power to linkwith human destiny.
