The destinies of two young women and the adventures they face when they take control of their pre-arranged lives are described in this compelling story. Set in the West Indies during the 18th century, this first-person narrative brings the past vividly to life as it chronicles the actions of the two girls. One is a slave forced to work in a plantation mansion and subjected to terrible cruelty by the plantation manager. The other is a spirited and rebellious English girl sent to the West Indies to marry well and combine the wealth of two respectable families.
Fate intervenes one night when the two girls save each other and run away to a dangerous new life as pirates. In this new guise they roam the seas, fight pitched battles against their foes and become embroiled in many exciting adventures.
Swashbuckling adventure, great female lead characters and a romantic historical setting combine to make Pirates! a certain bestseller.
