I dared not move... I was a bread stealer.
A chicken feather villain. A salted mutton thief.
I guiltily recalled the paper, the ink, the leather pouch I had stolen. And even though I had not intended it so... I was a stowaway.
Julienne roams the fortress tunnels of Brest, France, cold, hungry and knowing only one thing about herself—her name. Soon she must abandon even that remnant of her identity.
She becomes Jules, ship’s boy, journeying to Botany Bay and beyond on a voyage of discovery for the glory of France, led by Commander Laperouse. Jules/Julienne sees new and strange things on board the Boussole, but what she would most like to discover is her own history: who is Julienne Fulbert?
