Seventeen years ago, Sarah fled to shore, escaping the prophecy that foretold her death and the pirate legacy she wanted no part of. But when her father’s crew storms Rher and kidnaps her and her sister Grace, the life she built unravels.

Fellow writers! Where does the climax of your novel take place?
