Daughter of the Black Flag: 1

They said a girl like me belonged in someone's kitchen. So I took a ship instead.I was supposed to spend my life scrubbing other people's floors. Then a ship's captain looked at a poor Chinese girl with nothing to her name and saw a pirate. He offered me a way out, and I took it with both hands.Now I captain a ship of my own. I've broken every rule there is for a woman on the water, and I'd do it again. But the greatest treasure of my career is aboard a rival vessel, and the only way to claim it is to sign on as their cook. Easy enough. Nobody looks twice at the girl with the ladle.Except someone does.Andy is a sailor with a secret as big as mine. She's lived her whole life as a boy, hiding from a father's shame and a world that has no mercy for daughters like her. I should keep my distance. Instead, we're sailing together through waters ruled by sea serpents and ancient magic, chasing a prize that's already cost more than I planned to pay.The world wants women to make themselves small. Andy and I picked up cutlasses instead. But freedom always has a price, and I'm starting to think the real treasure isn't gold at all.A swashbuckling reimagining of Treasure Island that asks: what if the adventure belonged to the women all along? Packed with action, adventure, magic, and mayhem.
