Pirate Queen ANNE BONNY has a secret--a baby daughter named KATE! Anne, afraid that motherhood will undermine her fearsome reputation as the scarlet-haired scourge of the 18th century Caribbean, is having the baby raised by friends in the Spanish colony of Cuba, unknown to the crew of the Tigress--and that Kate's father, CAPTAIN CALICO JACK RACKAM. But when Anne wants to go to her daughter's first birthday--now behind enemy lines in the middle of Great Britain's latest war with Spain--she turns for help to the only person she can trust: fellow female freebooter MARY READ. Together, the pirate queens will defy storms sharks, slave-catchers, a shipwreck, and the Spanish Inquisition...to fulfill a promise. And, along the way, they might just plunder Spain's world-famed "treasure fleet."
