Overview

TEN WOMEN. ONE PINK SHIP. THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY. Captain Vespera Hale is tired. She is tired of the damp biscuits. She is tired of the Royal Navy chasing her across the Atlantic. But mostly, she is tired of running. After a decade of infamy aboard the UWU—the most notorious (and brightly colored) brigantine in the Caribbean—Vespera doesn't want another raid. She wants a garden. But freedom has a price tag: Four Million Pesos. To buy their lives back, Vespera and her all-female crew must pull off the impossible. They aren't just robbing a ship; they are targeting the entire Spanish Treasure Fleet inside the treacherous Devil’s Throat reef. The plan is insane. The odds are zero. And the enemy is closing in from both sides: the vengeful Spanish Armada to the south, and the relentless British Commodore Sterling to the north. From the ballroom floors of Governor Swann’s mansion to the eye of a hurricane, the Queens of the UWU have one chance to trade their cutlasses for keys. One last job. One last fight. One last promise. If they fail, they hang. If they succeed, they live as legends.
