  The story follows Mayken, a spirited girl aboard the doomed Batavia ship in 1629, who must navigate a voyage that turns into a nightmarish descent into chaos and violence. Three hundred years later, Gil, a grieving boy sent to live on a remote island off Australia, begins to uncover the island’s buried past—and with it, a connection to Mayken that transcends time.

  A beautiful story following two troubled men, separated by nearly a century, bound by the ghosts of their past 
  When George Allenby is put in charge of building a lake in the grounds of an imposing Irish manor house, he intends to do the job as swiftly as possible and return to Belfast. Allenby is still wrestling with his time as an officer during the First World War, burdened by the many things he could have done differently. 
  Almost a century later, Alex and Ellie are preparing for their wedding, sparing no expense to hire a venue overlooking the very lake Allenby built all those years ago. 
  Like Allenby before him, Alex is haunted by decisions he made in the past. Now, with the wedding drawing ever closer, he is at a crossroads. Telling the truth might free him from his guilt; it might also take away everything he cares about, including Ellie.  
  In this masterful portrait of love and betrayal, David Park reveals the many ways the past seeps into the present: destructive, formidable, but also hopeful, in the moments of fragile beauty that remain.

  After surviving the horrors of the Black Death, a lapsed nun takes to the road alone, protected from rain and robbers by the skin of a bear.  
  In 1351, many in England begin thinking that their mighty overlords -- Church and Crown - have no control over their fates and a new horizon beckons. It’s a time when labor is in high demand, and nature offers immense bounty to those who have survived death and disease.  
  Sister Mary Thomas stumbles into a manor house and when she is mistaken for its Baroness she discovers she now has the power to liberate peasants threatened in new ways and perhaps even build a community where all can ask, "what happens if I get what I have always wanted?" 
  That's where the danger lies: their freedom is a threat to powerful people determined to keep what is theirs.

  The Constellation Trilogy #1 
    
  In the 18th century West Indies, stories hold the ultimate power. Sailors spin yarns about pirates. Newspapers tell tales full of half-truths. Myths spread like whispered wildfire. 
    
  East India Company sailor Nicholas Jerome has no patience for pirates, determined to escape his father's thieving past. After a convict and an enslaved woman escape his grasp with the aid of an aristocrat's mysterious wife, he faces one last chance to save his career. Finding an unexpected home with a new crew, he gains a chosen younger brother in René Delacroix, the son of his wealthy captain and the grandson of Jamaica's cruel governor. 
    
  But there's a storm brewing in the Delacroix household. For René and his best friend Frantz, the Robin Hood tales about legendary pirate Ajani Danso and his famed female quartermaster are a lifeline amidst the governor's abuse. Danso robs greedy merchants, frees slaves, and shelters queer sailors, inspiring the downtrodden across the New World. 
    
  When death and betrayal shatter the lives they knew, René and Jerome each face a choice: obey, or rebel. 
    
  A war for history's favor begins, and as an uprising against colonialism erupts on the ocean, everyone must choose a story to believe in.
