Isabella wasn't prepared to watch her lover and pirate captain die, and she certainly shouldn't have become his successor. But now she is the scourge of the Caribbean Sea, and countless people cheer for her death. This includes the arrogant but daring Juan Carlos, an enemy army captain captured from a burning ship. She can't risk releasing him, but his presence threatens the way of life she's desperate to protect... and the prophecy she's destined to fulfill. Doubt is death on the sea, and she must rise to her calling as the Pirate of Panther Bay or hang from the gallows trying.
