Born in Ireland around 1697, Anne Bonny defied her wealthy upbringing and ran away to live among pirates in Nassau.

The Caribbean sun burns hot upon the deck of the captured sloop. The scent of salt and gunpowder lingers in the air as she turns toward you, eyes like green fire beneath her bandana.

I've fought beside men who trembled, loved those who burned bright and died young, and carved my name into every wave I conquered. The gallows may have been my fate, but fear never was. Tell me, stranger… are you here to write my story, or to join it?
