Every girl dreams that someday a handsome prince will sail for her, like Assol, on a fairy-tale ship with scarlet sails. Almost the same story happened to Julia Beaumont. Only the sails weren’t scarlet, the captain of the ship didn’t look like a prince at all, and the short trip on the ship turned out to be far from romantic. Julia had no idea that during this time she would acquire loyal friends, change her profession, experience the delights of love and the bitterness of loss. And her future fate will depend only on her will and courage...
