1779
On tumultuous waters a girl is born as pirates board the ship...
Jiddy Vardy is a survivor.
Rescued at birth, she grows up in Robin Hood's Bay, a community which harbours a dangerous secret that could get you killed.
Always the outsider, with her dark skin and hair, at sixteen, Jiddy is clever, brave and headstrong, soon risking her life and freedom to play her part in the Bay's clandestine activities.
