Pirates, magic, witches, and romance in the Caribbean of 1720 come together to create a compelling tale of Miranda, a young woman coming of age.

The descendant of healers and shapeshifters, but with no powers of her own, Miranda just wants to fit in on her Caribbean island home. When a pirate ship sails into the bay, its captain, Louie Charretier, falls in love with her and asks her to sail away with him.

But when some of the crew come ashore and torture and kill villagers, Miranda must decide between remaiing on her home island or leaving with the pirates.
