About this ebook
A debut historical novel about a female pirate's life on the high seas.
Born a despised gypsy and tricked into a life of brutal debauchery, Lola Blaise quickly learns the harsh ways of the world, and of the men who inhabit it. But in the New World waits a different sort of life, full of danger and passion, where one false move could mean death: a life of piracy.
On the island of Nassau, Lola earns her keep as a prostitute until she lands a place on the Revenge, a ship captained by the infamous Blackbeard, the greatest buccaneer who ever lived. To survive the lethal treachery of a pirate's life Lola must use every hard-earned skill in her arsenal-and become the woman she was always meant to be.

Wow, what an interesting book! A story of a survivor, Lola (the lead character) had to suffer numerous times and had to endure horrible things. But amidst all these, she still emerged victorious. What I like about this book is that it combined fiction with history. Mind you, though, this is not for the faint of heart.
