An exciting and gripping new historical adventure drama. In the shadow of 17th-century Holland's bustling harbors, where the Dutch East India Company's sails promise fortune and peril, young physician's assistant Danielle Van Aard witnesses a nightmare that shatters her world. When a ruthless captain murders her father for refusing to aid his opium smuggling empire, Danielle flees for her life-only to stow away aboard the Drommedaris, bound for the untamed Cape of Good Hope. Trapped on a treacherous voyage inspired by true historical events from Governor Van Riebeeck's journals, Danielle battles fierce storms, devastating illnesses, and the suspicions of a strict captain. But amid the chaos, she finds unlikely allies: the chivalrous Sebastiaan De Vries, who risks everything to protect her, and the resilient Maria Van Riebeeck, wife of the expedition's leader. As dysentery ravages the settlers and tense encounters with local tribes test fragile alliances, Danielle's medical skills become a beacon of hope-stitching wounds, defying danger, and forging bonds that could reshape destinies. Blending heart-pounding adventure, tender romance, and the raw grit of survival, Good Hope is a riveting tale of one woman's transformation from fugitive to healer in a new world. Based on real events and serving as a strong opener to a trilogy brimming with authenticity, this must-read historical fiction captures the dawn of a colony-and the unbreakable spirit that built it. Good Hope appeals to readers who crave epic, character-driven historical dramas with intellectual weight and emotional resonance. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale's emotional depth, Outlander's bold heroines, or Master and Commander's nautical thrills, Good Hope delivers a fresh, intense historical adventure with a powerful female lead. Will Danielle's courage and daring forge a new destiny-or will it lead to her undoing?
