Angélica 'Hell' Spencer spent her life at sea. Raised on ships by her naturalist father, she expected to spend her days studying flora and fauna in exotic locations.

Until she met Henry Martin.

The ocean-eyed lieutenant steals her heart, but their clandestine love affair is torn apart by time, distance, and society.

Years later, the two reunite. Henry is the youngest captain in the English Navy, and Hell sails with him aboard the HMS Integrity. But when they are pulled into a treasonous plot, their lives become more treacherous than a storm at sea.

When everything is taken from her by the hands of men in power, Hell will go to any length for justice and vengeance, even if it means sailing under the black.

Spanning years, this book tells the stories of the moments that made her and the lovers who made her. Her turn to piracy takes her to the farthest reaches of the world, leaving fire and destruction in her wake. But for Henry, Hell will rise from the wreckage a pirate queen.
