Captain Rafaella Vaelien is loath to leave her pirate ship to marry an English gentleman in a grand London society wedding. It doesn't take her long to find a world of trouble to occupy her time while she waits for the date to arrive.

Lyriel Vaelien lives under a terrible curse. As a child, The Blade of Truth chose her to be Calverique’s Guardian. She’s lived a life of solitude, where the island’s people need her but fear her.

Rafaella Vaelien is an undisputed pirate queen. She lives by one motto: Never surrender. Her latest conquest is a legacy left by her father, a hidden dagger known as The Blade of Truth. To find it, she must disguise herself as a lady and blend into Guadeloupe’s high society. She can’t do it alone.

On the eve of her forced wedding to a man she cannot abide, Lady Beatrix Wrenwood decides to run away and chase a family secret. She disguises herself as a boy and enlists on The Tempest, a ship bound for the West Indies.
