As free As The Sea: The Saga of Anne Bonny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798261822509)

The life of Anne Bonny exists mostly in whispers and fragmented court records, yet the space between the facts screams a story of rebellion, ambition, and boundless courage. This is the tale that fills that void.

Born amidst the rugged beauty of Ireland, Anne's early years were shadowed by secrecy and scandal, the illegitimate daughter of the ambitious lawyer, William Cormac. When shame and opportunity drove Cormac to seek a new life, they crossed the ocean to the sun-drenched, lawless territories of the Caribbean. But this new world offered Anne no quiet submission. Rebelling against the stifling expectations of plantation life, she traded silks for steel and respectability for the ruthless liberty of the sea.

She quickly rose from obscurity to infamy, finding her truest self alongside her legendary companions: the charming Captain Jack Rackham and the fierce, kindred spirit, Mary Read. She became a pirate, a fighter, and one of the 18th century's most unforgettable women.

However, a twist of fate-a disastrous capture, an escape, and a desperate pursuit of a final, impossible freedom-sends her not back toward the familiar ports of the West, but hurtling toward the unknown. Against all odds, the rogue navigator finds herself marooned within the iron grip of Isolationist Japan, a nation ruled by the absolute, deadly authority of the Shogunate.

Caught between the strictures of a powerful feudal lord and the terrifying vengeance of an entire empire, Anne must use every ounce of her cunning and piratical skill to escape a gilded cage that threatens to claim not just her freedom, but the life of her unborn child.

This is a sweeping adventure where history provides a whisper, and fiction breathes fire.

Follow Anne Bonny on her most dangerous voyage yet-from the Irish estates to the buccaneer dens of the Indies, and finally, to a desperate, high-stakes flight from the shores of Japan back to the West. This is a story about the relentless quest for liberty, and the final, fitting destiny of the pirate who refused to be owned.
