Introduction

The 1500s were a dangerous time. Pirates swarming the seas and the cities, they ruled the ocean with an eyepatch and a peg leg. For Stefan Clarke, it was all he could've ever hoped for. He belonged on a ship, sailing the waves of the water. But when he tries to prove himself to his captain, he ends up making a terrible mistake. He lets a stray on the boat. Worst of all: she's a woman. Having a lady can be bad luck on a ship. Falling in love with one is a whole other problem.
