Rory's Fortune

Rory's Fortune

â‚¬ËœYouâ‚¬ll hold my life in your hands. Whatever happens, nobody must know what you are carryingâ‚¬Â¦â‚¬

Life changes overnight for fifteen-year-old Rory McAlister, an apprentice wheelwright, when his master, John Cornwallis, who had been kind to Rory and his poverty-stricken family, is injured in an accident and asks Rory to take his place on a vital errand.

With a secret letter hidden under a patch on his shirt, Rory travels south to meet the sinister Miss Bluett â‚¬â€œ who sends him off on a terrifying voyage across the seas to Jersey. But what is the mysterious â‚¬Ëœblue baccyâ‚¬ he is to carry home? And why is it so important that they can only come for it by night? Plunged into terrible danger, Roryâ‚¬s very life is suddenly at stake as he finds himself caught up in the dangerous world of smuggling.

Set in the mid-nineteenth century, Roryâ‚¬s Fortune is a dramatic and action-packed tale of one young man remaining loyal to his master only to find his life changed forever.
