CHAPTER 1

Lady Ana Selene had never felt so alive in her life.

It was the middle of the night, and as she gazed out from the aftcastle of the sailing ship, the seas around her were dancing with sparkles of pale white moonlight.  The waves, cresting up as their ship skipped along them, briefly threw up sparkles of shining silver droplets before crashing back down.  The deck of the ship was alive with noise as the pirate crew ran back and forth, hauling on ropes, calling out instructions and commands and warnings to each other.  A few of them still spared the occasional glimpse up towards her, but most of them kept their eyes on the tasks at hand.

Ana supposed that this was a bit of a shock for them.  To find out, nearly two days into the voyage, that there was a woman on board the ship?  That would momentarily knock any man off of his game.  But the current crisis, the rush to engage now that their target had been spotted, was doing a good job of distracting them - at least for the present moment.

It had not been Ana’s intention for any of this situation to happen.  If someone had spoken with her just a week previously, she never would have imagined that she’d be at sea at all, much less allied with a band of ruthless pirates, in pursuit of another ship to plunder.

Funny how things worked out.

A little over a week ago, Ana’s father had passed away.  The physicians she brought to the house had assured her that he had passed in his sleep, that he had felt no pain - but there had also been nothing that they could do.  The man couldn’t be revived; just like that, he was gone.

With Ana as his only daughter, and no other relatives or offspring to speak of, the bulk of his estate had fallen to her.  She had known that this would happen, and it was no surprise upon the reading of the will.  Upon learning that his daughter was not a meek and obedient lady, but was instead a strongly willed and determined young woman, her father had chosen to foster that independence, teaching her to read and write, encouraging her to grow as her own person.  He had wanted for her to continue in the same vein, even after his passing.

Yet Ana’s inheritance had not sat well with everyone -
