In this stunningly creative debut, Nicole Castroman
reimagines the origins of history’s most infamous
pirate—Blackbeard—and tells the story of the girl who
captured his heart and then broke it, setting him on a path
to destruction. When Edward “Teach” Drummond, son of one of Bristol’s
richest merchants, returns home from a year at sea, he finds
his life in shambles. Betrothed to a girl he doesn’t love
and sick of the high society he was born into, all Teach
wants is to return to the vast ocean he calls home. There’s
just one problem: he must convince his father to let him
leave and never come back. Following the death of her parents, Anne Barrett is left
penniless. Though she’s barely worked a day in her life,
Anne takes a job as a maid in the home of Master Drummond.
Lonely days stretch into weeks and Anne longs to escape the
confines of her now mundane life. How will she ever achieve
her dream of sailing to Curaçao—her mother’s birthplace—when
she’s trapped in England? From the moment Teach and Anne meet, they set the world
ablaze. Drawn together by a shared desire for freedom, but
kept apart by Teach’s father, their love is as passionate as
it is forbidden. Faced with an impossible choice, Teach and
Anne must decide whether to chase their dreams and leave
England forever—or follow their hearts and stay together.
