Description

Olwen Delainewas no sailor, no adventurer—just a quiet translator from modern-day France, fond of old books and quiet evenings. But when she wakes in the world of her favorite historical novel, far from home and centuries away, she’s no heroine of legend—just another face in the crowd, a common woman in a bustling port town.

With little coin and fewer options,Olwenfinds humble work in a seaside bakery under the care of agruff, weathered baker. Life is simple, almost bearable—until black sails blot out the sun.

When pirates lay siege to the harbor, fire and chaos tear through the streets. In desperation,Olwenand theold manflee the burning town and throw themselves aboard a moored vessel, mistaking it for a merchant ship.

Only when the anchor lifts and the coastline fades do they realize the truth: they’ve boarded a pirate ship,The Widow’s Wail. And its captain—Finnian Flint O’Malley—is no kindly seafarer.

Olwenis swept into a world of sea-bound lawlessness, shifting loyalties, and salt-bitten freedom. She must learn to survive where law holds no sway…Beneath The Jolly Roger.
