THE ROGUE'S MOON
It is 1700 and the coasts between Maine and Florida are plagued by pirates...
Freckles was born Nancy Topsfield, but when her parents are killed at sea by pirates, leaving only her alive, she decides it is easier to pose as a boy-which is how she becomes indentured to the former pirate Tom Cocklyn.
When she meets handsome Jack Ross, who thinks he wants to become a pirate but is saved from that life by Freckles' intervention, it is only the beginning of her story. Here you will meet Mary Read and Anne Bonny, the two famous female pirates ... Francis Farrington Sprigg, perhaps the cruelest knave of the high seas ... the Honourable Charles Eden, compromised governor of North Carolina... the respectable Stede Bonnet, a man of wealth turned to piracy. And the wickedest of them all, Edward Teach, Black-Beard himself!
