‘‘I'm delighted that Mantle will be publishing my gender-swapping story of love and adventure at sea, inspired in part by the real-life stories of 18th century pirate duo Anne Bonny and Mary Read. The Ghost Ship has been a delight to work on from start to finish, and I hope readers will have as much fun reading it as I had researching and writing this novel.'’

‘‘I’m so looking forward to publishing The Ghost Ship. A sweeping love story, ranging from France in 1610 to Amsterdam and the Canary Islands in the 1620s, this is a thrilling novel of adventure and buccaneering, love and revenge, stolen fortunes and hidden secrets on the High Seas. Most of all, it is a tale of defiant women in a man’s world.’’

The Barbary Coast, 1621. A mysterious vessel silently rides the swell. She is known only as the Ghost Ship. For these past months, her crew has fought to liberate those enslaved by corsairs. But the two bravest mariners on board are not who they seem. And the stakes could not be higher: if captured, they will be hanged for their alleged crimes. . . Ranging from France in 1610 to Amsterdam and the Canary Islands in the 1620s, The Ghost Ship is a thrilling novel of adventure and buccaneering, love and revenge, stolen fortunes and hidden secrets on the High Seas.
