The Foundling — Tim Robinson

It is 1715, and Caspar Crispian - former slave, celebrated opera star, notorious pirate, and wanted man in at least four nations - has found his place in the world. Home is a desolate, tropic shore, located at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean, two rivers, and a meandering creek that extends its fingers deep into the fabled sawgrass expanses to the south. Here, a native seaside village called Jobe, his is a life of contentment and familial joy - a loving wife, a beautiful daughter, and good friends. Then, one day, Fate steps in, in the form of a hurricane and the most disastrous Spanish treasure fleet wreck in history. Caspar's life will never be the same.
