A long stay on the North Carolina coast seems perfect. But when Will reluctantly looks into a local inheritance case involving Jonathan Joppa, a down-on-his-luck preacherโ
"Piracy chargeโJoppa's ancestor? What...when?"
"Why, for being part of Blackbeard's pirate crew...in the early 1700s..."
Will just wants to rest, but Fiona keeps insisting there's something missing...buried. Soon the two have had a near-fatal brush with smugglersโand together they've unearthed the truth: about a pirate's history, about Jonathan Joppa, and about two remarkable womenโone in the past, and one in the present.
