Once, Anne was royalty, reckless, untouchable, and destined to rule. But betrayal on her wedding night shattered her crown and her heart. Years later, she sails the seas under a new name: Blackbeard. Feared by all, she hunts the men who destroyed her, carving vengeance into the waves.
When she captures Lieutenant Robb Maynard, a loyal officer to her enemies, he becomes her pawn. Yet every stolen glance and whispered threat blurs the line between captor and captive. His calm defiance stirs something she thought long dead.
As brutal magic binds her and revenge consumes her, Anne must decide whether love is a weapon or a weakness. Because in this deadly game, the heart may be the most dangerous treasure of all.
