❝Sweet creature
Had another talk about where it's going wrong
But we're still young
We don't know where we're going
But we know where we belong
And oh we started
Two hearts in one home
It's hard when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know❞
—Harry Styles, Sweet Creature

By the year 1588, English ships led by the command of Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Harry Styles defeated the once indestructible Spanish Armada.
Sir Harry Styles was rewarded by the Queen, despite his treachery against her by marrying without permission, with the command of a new ship in which he would dedicate to his loving wife by naming it the Pearl of the Sea.
It had been one year since Celia watched her husband be set free to go to battle, six months since she was banished from court, and four months since she had given birth to their child. She imagined that when she was reunited with Harry they would purchase a secluded house and reside in peace, but their adventure was only just beginning.
