In this stunningly creative debut, Nicole Castroman reimagines the origins of historyβs most infamous pirateβBlackbeardβand tells the story of the girl who captured his heart and then broke it, setting him on a path to destruction. When Edward βTeachβ Drummond, son of one of Bristolβs richest merchants, returns home from a year at sea, he finds his life in shambles. Betrothed to a girl he doesnβt love and sick of the high society he was born into, all Teach wants is to return to the vast ocean he calls home. Thereβs 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 sheβs 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 CuraΓ§aoβher motherβs birthplaceβwhen sheβs 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 Teachβs 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 foreverβor follow their hearts and stay together.
