Synopsis via Goodreads
When Jill finds a rusty sword tip on a Caribbean beach, she is instantly intrigued—and little expects it will transport her through time to the deck of a pirate ship. Will a dark enchantment, salty kisses, and a duel with an evil pirate captain leave her stranded in the eighteenth century forever?

Drawing on piratical lore and historical fact, Carrie Vaughn creates a vivid world of swaying masts and swelling seas, where blood magic overrules the laws of nature, romance is in the air, and death can come at the single slip of a sword.

Noteworthy Passages

Captain Cooper & captain of slave ship; pg. 79
"You're not a woman at all, you're a whore! You're the devil's own whore!"
"Better the devil's than yours!" Marjory Cooper shouted back at him. "Give my regards to your wife!"

Jill; pg. 83
Well after dark, the new passengers began to sing. The voices were soft, wavering--still weak. Like the lantern light, the words and tunes seemed to rise up among the sails, to echo above them, sounding larger than they were.
