The Wolf at Sea

When disgraced aristocrat Edward Ashworth is handed command of a captured French frigate, he inherits a crew of criminals, castoffs, and terrified boys—and a chance to prove himself on the frozen colonial frontier. As French privateers and a monstrous new warship stalk the ice, his young midshipmen forge unbreakable bonds in blood and shadow, risking everything for a country that would hang them for who they love.
