A Dual-Timeline Maritime Historical Mystery of the Batavia Shipwreck, Island Lore, and Tragedy

In 1629, nine-year-old orphan Mayken van den Berg boards the Dutch East India Company flagship Batavia bound for the East Indies, unaware of the mutiny brewing among the crew that will lead to a disastrous shipwreck off the coast of Western Australia. Three hundred years later in 1989, nine-year-old Gil is sent to live on the same isolated island with his fisherman grandfather.

As Gil uncovers 17th-century human remains and historical artifacts along the coral reefs, his life intersects with Mayken's tragic story across time. Both children navigate isolation, local folklore, and historic disaster in a dual-timeline narrative of survival.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Jess Kidd crafts a gothic-tinged dual-timeline historical novel inspired by the real 1629 Batavia shipwreck. Combining maritime history with Australian island atmosphere, this book is essential reading for fans of Hannah Kent, Maggie O'Farrell, and Stacey Halls.
