Summary

Born of the Sea is a short novella based on the true story of the infamous 18th-century gender-bending pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

The sea has always felt like my true birthplace. It is where I found myself. It is where I found Mary.

New Providence Island, 1719. A fierce and fearless Anne Bonny joins Jack Rackham and the crew of the pirate ship William, embarking on the adventure of a lifetime.

Born of the Sea follows Anne as she cross-dresses, drinks, and fights her way through the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy. But Anne's life is changed forever when she meets Mary Read, plotting a new course on a voyage of self-discovery.
