Cochin 1698—

Edmund Hemingway has left everything behind—his home, his life, and even Constantine—all to work aboard a merchant ship and build the perfect life for the two of them. Edmund is sure things will be different this time. But nothing seems to have changed once the ship is captured by the lawfully unlawful pirate Captain William Kidd who seems to know quite a bit about his new captive's past. As Edmund scrambles for answers and an escape back to Constantine, he can’t deny what’s left been behind nor the disaster that lies ahead. Questions long left unanswered begin to float to the surface: Is Edmund suited for a life of piracy? Were things ever really finished aboard the Amity? And what was the true fate of Edmund's sister, Gretchen Hemingway?But that was before the mutiny, before the fire, and before William Kidd.
