Book excerpt: In the opening years of the eighteenth century, fierce Calusa Indians rule the coast of Southwest Florida. Pirates patrol the area, looking for Indians to capture and sell at the slave auction in Charles Town, South Carolina. One evening, Calusa girl Mara is kidnapped by pirates, and dragged aboard Captain Hannah Dunne's frigate, the Devil Ray. In the months that follow, Mara's journey takes her through a terrible storm at sea, a visit to Blackbeard's hideout, and finally to her new home on an indigo plantation near Charles Town. On the plantation she uncovers secret plans for a slave rebellion, and she is forced to make desperate choices that will change her life forever.
