Mistress of the Sea is an epic Elizabethan adventure set at the time of Drake, pirates and privateers.
The book was published by Ebury Press in hardback in 2012 with the paperback coming out on 20 June 2013.
Mistress of the Sea traces the first of Drake’s great adventures, but with one special difference – suppose a woman had by chance been there…
Jenny Barden is an artist-turned-lawyer-turned-writer who has had a love of history and adventure ever since an encounter in infancy with a suit of armour at Tamworth Castle. A fascination with the Age of Discovery led to travels in South and Central America, and much of the inspiration for Mistress of the Sea came from retracing the footsteps of Francis Drake in Panama. She is currently working on a sequel centred on the first Elizabethan ‘lost colony’ of early Virginia.
