After Ben had checked over every inch of the Sparrowhawk and made them both memorise her route again until they knew it by heart, they went to bed. Despite his nerves, Ben fell asleep almost immediately, but Lotti lay in her berth, listening to Elsie’s heavy breathing from the floor in the galley where she slept with Federico.

Her hand closed over her father’s ring.

‘Bring us luck, Papa,’ she whispered.

But Lotti, who had lost her parents to a storm on a cloudless day, knew that the Sparrowhawk needed more than luck. She thought of Jack, Frank and Jim’s little brother, who had taken a drawing of Nathan’s starling with him to the war.

Rings and pictures were powerful things, but sometimes you needed people.

She waited a little longer until she was sure Ben wouldn’t wake up, then climbed out of her berth, pulled on her clothes and, with Federico for courage, slipped away from the Sparrowhawk.
