The Freedom Merchants by Sherryl Jordan


It is 1615. Pirate ships from the Barbary Coast of Northern Africa prowl the coasts of England and Ireland, raiding villages for slaves. When Liam's brother is one of those captured, Liam travels with a small band of monks and bags full of gold to find them, hoping to redeem them from the pirate masters.

Liam's long, dangerous journey takes him to the heart of the pirate world, into the turmoil of religious persecution, and the horrors of slavery. (Back cover)
