Determined to seek his fortune, Percival Taylor leaves behind his sleepy hometown and sets out to become a legendary pirate—only no one at the roguish seaport of Blackshore will allow him any- where near a ship!
Percival must find other means to win the heart of
the beautiful Tuppence Magrathia-Paddock, who has mistaken him for a pirate
rogue out of one of her romantic tales. She is entirely willing to swoon into
his arms if he can prove his buccaneer soul—and she is willing to arrange her
own kidnapping to prove it.
Percival
eventually finds himself captain of a broken-down ship, complete with a crew of
pirates who make their living selling fake treasure maps, a jilted fiancee, a
reclusive Master Shipwright, and an old professor with a secret that could kill
them all. It’s Pirates of Penzance meets Princess Bride as this
motley group of characters sets sail for treasure and romance.
