Early one June morning, the local sheriff and his men ride onto her property and throw her young nephew to the ground, bloody and broken. Her life changes from that moment, shattering into pieces with unimaginable consequences. Kath's journey takes her through many crises and challenges to an untamed British territory ruled by pirates.
