Brandy Erasmus is the daughter of the most feared pirate of the Caribbean in the early 19th century. Erick Erasmus aka The Plague and his infamous wife The Scarlet Mistress have marauded and ravaged the seas of the Caribbean since before Brandy was born. But on one fateful day when she is fifteen years old, that life drastically ends. First her father is killed by his second in command, Don Lomoche, and then an evil self-important, pompous ass British admiral named Bennets captures and executes her mother. She and her uncle barely escape the same fate. They spend the next 15 years hiding in Kingston, Jamaica where they run an Inn near the harbor. A chance meeting with one of the British Empires most celebrated sea captains, Arthur Joshua and his enigmatic first officer John Edwards changes everything. Both men are part of the Abolitionist movement in the Caribbean to get runaway slaves from the United states settled in Maroons. Although passionate about the movement Captain Joshua is also on a second mission to find his long-lost wife and daughter who came to the Caribbean 15 years earlier to wait for him. His wife, Cassandra, was a former prisoner on a slave ship headed to the new world when they were intercepted by his then command of a British Man-of-War off the coast of Africa. After they were married, she bared him a daughter, and he then sent them on to the new world where he felt they could live together as a family. The king of England kept him from joining his family for seven years, having him fighting one war after another. When Captain Joshua found out that his family had been lost somewhere in the Caribbean, he begged the then "Sailor King William", his former commanding officer, to let him go find out what happened to them. The King gave him leave to find his family and commissioned him to aid the freed slaves of the British Empire in the Caribbean as he saw fit. He also gifted Captain Joshua with the fastest ship in the British fleet, a ship Captain Joshua named, The Morning Star. Joshua asked 1st Lieutenant John Edward to join him in his quest and with the kings leave they set out on Captain Joshua's duel quest. Brandy and her uncle Skynyrd find themselves drawn to these men.
