From the very first chapter, this novel plunges readers into a tense and eerie seascape aboard the TIGRESS. The story centers on Miss Anne—an enigmatic, strong-willed woman with uncanny “talents”—and her devoted French captain. Their peaceful sail quickly turns ominous when a flat, lifeless ocean signals impending danger. Before long, a pirate ship emerges on the horizon, setting the stage for a clash of cunning and survival.
What truly sets this chapter apart is the palpable atmosphere. There’s a sense of quiet dread as Miss Anne describes the unnervingly still waters, while her uncanny intuition reveals truths about the pirate threat long before the crew fully grasps it. This tension is heightened by the captain’s loyalty—he stands between the pirates and the mysterious secret behind Miss Anne’s cabin door.
The interplay of personal resolve, hidden abilities, and looming danger makes for an exhilarating opening. Readers are sure to be intrigued by Miss Anne’s backstory and the secrets she protects, all while the TIGRESS teeters on the brink of capture.
