He sees through her charade, but what will he do with that knowledge?</p><p>Everything seems poised to come to a crashing end as she clings to her secrets, though now it is not only her life but also the life of her crew at stake.</p><p>Friendships formed through the trials and hardships of life at sea in the golden age of piracy, when danger lurks in every cove, will be tested to the breaking point; and nothing will ever be the same, for any of them.</p>
