Young and ambitious Amelia Brookson is ready to see the wide, wide world of the early 18th century-- as wide a horizon can be provided for English-born, French-raised, female nobility. As she sets out to see the place she was born with a dozen suitcases, more then a few annoying corsets and an agitated courier, Amelia quickly realizes maybe the place she thought she'd come to know isn't as friendly as she'd like it to be, and in the midst of conflicts in her home city, she gets roped into a crazy hostage situation with a pirate, none other than Mary Read.
