Nancy Kingston was a young heiress who fell in love with a young boy named William. William has to leave for the Navy but promises to come back for her someday. But with her now very close friend Minerva Sharpe, a runaway plantation slave, Nancy flees from an arranged marriage to the very scary and rich man Bartholome. She and Minerva become very close, like sisters, and they become pirates on the ship Deliverance, pretending to be boys. Many things happen as they live their difficult lives as a pirate, but Nancy always has dreams and fears that Bartholome, actually a deadly pirate, will come back after her. Will the two young women escape the cruel Captain Bartholome, who could be following them over the seven seas? And will Nancy’s beloved, William, still love the pirate she has become? This story takes place in the eighteenth century times. I recommend it for both boys and girls who love to read exciting books.

Caution: This book is not for the squeamish. It’s filled with some gore, a lot of action, and a lot of excitement.
