In the second part, after a duel, 17-year-old Michel de Grammont, a descendant of an ancient aristocratic family from Franche-Comté, is forced to flee his family estate in France. He heads to the New World as the first mate on a merchant vessel. Left behind in his homeland are his family, friends from the Parisian Court of Miracles (a connection he kept strictly secret), and his mentor Isagani, who spent years teaching Michel the martial art of Arnis.
Right before setting sail, Grammont is unexpectedly joined by Greg Varenberg and Nicolas Morel, his old companions from his days in the Mediterranean.
Upon arriving in Martinique, they become entangled in a political intrigue where the conspirators stop at nothing—even kidnapping Marie de Poitiers, the royal engineer's daughter. To survive and protect their loved ones, the friends will have to give it their all, putting all their knowledge and experience to the test.

"The Shipyard of FATE " by Serhiy Novikov is a book that I read in just half a day in a single breath. It was a gift from the parents of the children who study at our school. To top it off, it came with a personalized author’s autograph mentioning my connection to the profession of criminal law, for which I am sincerely grateful. This is a story about the adventures of Captain de Grammont, a 17th-century French corsair, which will especially captivate teenagers, as it is packed with events and stories about a 16-year-old youth. But for me, it brought back my own childhood, when I was fascinated by reading about sea adventures. It was particularly touching to read about the Hospitallers at Fort Saint Elmo in Malta, which my husband and I visited last year. I highly recommend it, and I can confirm the author's warning: do not start reading it in the evening if you have to go to work the next morning.
