Winds Of Freedom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990305205)

Franchesca de Maret has just turned seventeen. For most young women belonging to the noble class in the country of Forn, it's a dream come true.

A lavish announcement party, followed by offers of courtship from fine upstanding young men. Franchesca doesn't see it that way.

She is bored and unsatisfied with her cloistered life. Everything changes on a encounter with a street urchin named Simone.

Franchesca suddenly finds herself torn between her parents' desires, a young man attempting to win her affections, and the only friend she's ever truly had. Her hand is forced when a distant family member blackmails her father.

From there life takes an exciting turn. Franchesca sets out on an adventure of her own, with her friends in tow. She could never have believed in her wildest dreams life would lead her to Tornusia, an island of outlaws, and pirates.

Never in a hundred lifetimes did she believe she would earn their admiration respect-and a place among them.
