Charlotte Grace Swann has always lived between worlds - between duty and desire, faith and fear, the stars above and the sea below. Raised in Port Royal with a quiet devotion inherited from her mother, Charlotte learns early that the world is far more dangerous, beautiful, and complicated than she ever imagined.
From the moment she pulls a shipwrecked boy from the waves, her life becomes intertwined with pirates, curses, and the man she was never meant to love: Commodore James Norrington.
Their story is one of stolen glances, unspoken promises, shattered trust, and impossible choices.
A story of storms survived, hearts broken, and a love that refuses to drown.
As Port Royal falls to chaos, as the Black Pearl rises from legend, as the Flying Dutchman claims its souls, Charlotte must decide who she is - and who she is willing to become - to save the people she loves.
Guided by the stars.
Anchored by faith.
Haunted by the man she cannot forget.
This is the untold story of the girl who walked beside Elizabeth Swann...
and the man whose path kept returning to hers, no matter how far he fell.
CONTENT NOTE
Charlotte, the protagonist, is Catholic, and her faith appears gently throughout the story. While this may not perfectly match the historical setting, I chose to reflect a part of myself in her character. Her faith is quiet, personal, and woven into her emotional journey. If this aspect of the story bothers you, please feel free to skip this book. I want this space to be enjoyable for everyone, so I won't be responding to complaints about this particular element.
