A Boy Named Daniel is a sweeping historical drama set during the Napoleonic Wars, following fourteen-year-old Abigail Holt who escapes a life of poverty and danger by disguising herself as a boy and joining the Royal Navy under her dying brother's name - Daniel.
What begins as survival turns into a life of adventure, loyalty, love, and transformation. As Daniel, she earns the respect of her crew and the trust of a principled young captain.
But secrets don't stay buried forever.
Spanning sea battles, royal courts, and quiet moments of courage, this is the story of one girl who became a legend not by pretending to be someone else - but by daring to become herself.
"In a world ruled by men, she chose to fight like one - and love as herself."
"The war made her a soldier. The sea made her free."
