Epigraph

Dedication

For Chelly Kitzmiller, Dorsey Adams, and Jill Landis

First words

Prologue - 1665:
The old salt smacked his lips over toothless gums, relishing the moment the stranger standing before him would hand over the jug of rum.

Chapter 1 - 1665:
Furana van der Rhys fingered the costly material of her ball gown, a gown of her mother's choosing, with deep sadness.
