Escaping the gallows was supposed to be impossible.
Rescued from the noose in a daring assault on Spanish Town, Captain Kit Beauregard has reclaimed her beloved Senorita—but freedom comes at a price. With the Royal Navy determined to erase the humiliation of her escape, she has only days before Britain's fastest warships begin the hunt.
Rather than risk the familiar pirate havens of the Caribbean, Kit chooses the unthinkable. She will sail south into seas few mariners dare to enter, following the coast of South America towards the wild, storm-lashed waters beyond the edge of every known chart.
Waiting for her is Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, an intelligent and relentless naval officer who quickly realises that defeating Kit will require more than superior firepower. As hunter and hunted match wits across thousands of miles of ocean, every decision becomes a contest of strategy, leadership and endurance.
Alongside old friends Henry McKenzie, Jean Lefevre and Jack Morrell, and aided by the wisdom of veteran navigator Samuel, Kit must lead a newly assembled crew through violent storms, unfamiliar lands and an increasingly desperate race for survival. Yet the greatest dangers may come not from the sea itself, but from the legends beginning to grow around the woman now known throughout the Caribbean as Kate o' the Gallows.
Set during the Golden Age of Piracy, Rover is a sweeping historical adventure of naval pursuit, courage and loyalty. Running parallel with the events of Rose, it reveals the untold story of Kit Beauregard's remarkable voyage before the paths of the trilogy finally converge in Rescue.
Rich in authentic maritime detail, unforgettable characters and high-seas action, Rover is a thrilling tale of survival that proves escaping the gallows was only the beginning.
