One day, after her mother insists she goes with them to the beach, she finds an old sword in the sand and decides to keep it. But she can’t find any pleasure in the white sand beaches or azure waters. It’s spring break and her family is going on a vacation to the Bahamas where they rented a vacation house close to the beach a couple of miles from Nassau.
One month after she lost a fencing tournament by half a second, sixteen year old Jill Archer still can’t believe it. Time travel, swordplay, and romance combine in an original high-seas adventure from New York Times bestseller Carrie Vaughn. But a pirate’s life is bloody and brief, and as Jill learns about the dark magic that brought her there, she forms a desperate scheme to get home-one that risks everything in a duel to the death with a villainous pirate captain. Stranded in the past and surrounded by strangers, she is forced to sign on as crew.
The broken tip holds secrets, though, and it transports Jill through time to the deck of a pirate ship.
When she finds a corroded sword piece on a Caribbean beach, she is instantly intrigued and pockets it as her own personal treasure. Sixteen-year-old Jill has fought in dozens of fencing tournaments, but she has never held a sharpened blade. A thousand people would step over it and think it trash, but not her. It was a slender length of rusted steel, tapered to a point at one end and jagged at the other, as if it had broken.
