'A gripping tale of one woman's extraordinary adventures ... Saltblood is a triumph of the imagination'
ELODIE HARPER, author of 'The Wolf Den' trilogy
'A ravishing picaresque told with fireworks, finesse and gusto'
PAUL LYNCH, author of Prophet Song
'A well crafted, salty, old-fashioned adventure about identity and freedom' The Times
In a rented room outside Plymouth in 1685, a daughter is born as her half-brother is dying. Her mother makes a decision: Mary will become Mark, and Ma will continue to collect his inheritance money.
Mary's dual existence as Mark will lead to a role as a footman in a grand house, serving a French mistress; to the navy, learning who to trust and how to navigate by the stars; and to the army and the battlegrounds of Flanders, finding love among the bloodshed and the mud. But none of this will stop Mary yearning for the sea.
Drawn back to the water, Mary must reinvent herself yet again, for a woman aboard a ship is a dangerous thing. This time Mary will become something more dangerous than a woman.
She will become a pirate.
Breathing life into the Golden Age of Piracy, Saltblood is a wild adventure, a treasure trove, weaving an intoxicating tale of gender and survival, passion and loss, journeys and transformation, through the story of Mary Read, one of history's most remarkable figures.

The myth of Mary Read
de Tores explores the themes of gender, identity and freedom in the Golden Age of Piracy through Mary Read's story, one of the few known female pirates. The historical novel takes readers on a riveting odyssey as Mary navigates through diverse roles, from serving a French mistress in a grand house to joining the navy and later the army amidst the battlegrounds of Flanders. Love, loss, and the persistent yearning for the sea weave together to form the intricate fabric of Mary's life. The decision to reinvent herself as a pirate adds a dangerous layer to her character, challenging traditional expectations and propelling the story into the heart of the notorious era.
