The Golden Hind — Gayle Rogers

A vital part of the undeclared war between Spain and England, Nakole Drake's objective was to stay the Spanish invasion by taking away the treasure of New Spain. His was a voyage of utmost peril. Black magic, so prevalent then, aimed to destroy Drake's expedition from the start. As he sailed into the Pacific, it seemed to rise against him and his ship, the Golden Hind. In England Elizabeth walked a thin line to keep Spain from invading and to keep herself from being assassinated by murderers in her own court. Mylana heard that Nakole was dead and secretly returned to Seabright just when the Spanish were raiding and burning homes along the Cornwall coast, killing all within.
