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.
