But when the only escape for the Admiral's daughter rests in the clutch of a lecherous shipmaster, at his command, Erin is forced to conceal her feminine beauty beneath manly garb. However, her horror becomes a nightmare when bloodthirsty pirates suddenly besiege the shipmaster's schooner. Faced with evisceration, the Admiral's daughter fights for her life with such skill that the pirate captain conscripts the feisty "boy" into his cutthroat crew - where treacherous death lurks around every mast and sail, as the pirates evade the tightening noose of their ancient enemy, the Prince. Yet, as the "Boy Pirate" struggles to survive among the brutal buccaneers, hiding her attraction to a handsome rouge among her shipmates, Erin discovers a haunting secret amid the depraved brigands that has the power to damn or to save them all.
