In the age of tall sails and quick shadows, fifteen-year-old Marley lives on Blue Heron Cay in the ancient Bahamas, where the sea is a teacher and every tide tells a story. When a red-scarved crew begins haunting the islands to force boys aboard their ship, Marley refuses to hide. Guided by his grandmother's sea-wisdom, a conch-shell code, and a map of living currents, he gathers cousins, lantern-makers, and quiet heroes to meet the danger with brains over blades.
