Publisher's summary
Experience the Napoleonic Wars like never before, through the eyes of two men from opposite worlds, united by fate but destined for conflict.
'Verses in the Sand' is a gripping tale of action, romance, and friendship set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and the failed 1798 United Irishman rebellion, marking the beginning of a series that will explore British and Irish history between the years 1792 and 1815.
In the year 1799, British army captain William Mason and fiery Irish convict Sean find their fates entwined. The sole survivors of a shipwreck, they find themselves stranded on a deserted island. Despite their mutual distrust toward each other, both men realise they must cooperate to survive and over time, animosity gives way to a fragile camaraderie. To pass the time, William tutors the previously illiterate Sean in reading, arithmetic, and even French, and he discovers an astonishingly brilliant and poetic soul within the young rebel. Each evening, Sean composes exquisite poetry in the sand, reflecting on their lives. The verses vanish with the tide but leave an impression on both men.
However, the island transforms into a battlefield when Lady Elizabeth, a young English aristocrat, washes ashore. She is a captive to the enigmatic yet ruthless pirate captain, Mercier, and his sinister crew. Through several flashbacks, we witness an epic sea battle between a formidable British ship of the line and a swift French frigate — revealing the events leading up to Mercier's arrival on the island.
William and Sean are thrust into the heart of a perilous rescue mission, setting the stage for a confrontational showdown with Mercier and his menacing crew.
At its core, Verses in the Sand is a clean and wholesome romance combined with action and military history with a compelling character study that brings Sean and William to life in all their complexity.

Or maybe someone slipped on a puddle of water, smashing the ingredients together? These zany stories tell several different ways the world's most delectable dish might have been created. The last is a retelling of the most accepted historical account of it's actual invention, slightly altered of course, to assure that it's in keeping with the humorous tone of the other stories.

This is such a good audiobook! It's perfect frankly....so well narrated! The narrator has a perfect, easy-listening voice and then switches between characters so naturally. He does it just so well. The book is a great story with fantastic descriptions and an exciting, adventurous tale. My mind was easily visualising throughout the whole thing: the voyage, inside the ship, the characters and their look and mannerisms. I really recommend this audiobook. I hope it's a big hit. It deserves it!

An Unlikely Friendship
This gripping story throws you headfirst into a perilous journey. A captain and a convict, thrown together on a deserted island after a horrific storm, are forced to rely on each other for survival. The two realize that their new reality has to change their dynamics and a slow respect and even friendship begin to blossom. The author's vivid descriptions make you feel like you are there. An unexpected twist with a new arrivals add another layer of tension, forcing the unlikely duo to become unlikely heroes. This book is beautifully written, with a surprising emotional depth. The convict's hidden talent for poetry is a delightful revelation. 5 stars!

Transcends Time
First off the narration of this book was incredible. This has become by far one of my all time favorite historical fiction books. Two people from different worlds coming together and learning to work together despite the past. Great book.

Fantastic!
Such a fun read especially if you’re a history buff. Even more so with the history of Australia and those sent there. Had a lot of fun and was engaged with the story from beginning to end

Loved It.
"Verses in the Sand" emerges as a captivating narrative that intricately weaves together the historical tapestry of the Napoleonic Wars with the personal odysseys of two distinctly contrasting characters. Darren Beaming's novel offers readers a unique vantage point into the era, blending the grandeur of historical events with the intimate dynamics of friendship, rivalry, and survival.
