Life at sea comes with a number of risks, but, as far as Kara is concerned, they're risks far more favourable than the horrors she escaped from on land a year ago.

When out-sailing an Evradian ship proves to be impossible, the crew of the Plunderer find themselves on the losing-side of a bloody battle. Slaughtering and sinking them isn't enough for the Evradians-an example needs to be made on land if they hope to put an end to the pirate threat. As the only one to have successfully evaded capture, Kara is all that's left to keep the man she loves, as well as the crew she calls her brothers, from hanging from the gallows in three days.

Kara finds herself back on land, all alone, faced with everything she despised and an impossible mission to take the men out of an impenetrable fort. But, a year at sea changed plenty. No longer the helpless young girl the Evradians knew her to be, their failure to account for her could very well be their undoing-and the key to their survival.
