An absolute page turner, full of unexpected twists and turns. Celia Rees, author of Pirates!

She was one of the most terrifying seafarers of all time. This is her story.

The Golden Age of Piracy is drawing to a close when Hannah Masury watches the public hanging of the infamous William Fly in a Boston town square.
