Rachelle Bailie has always believed her English clergyman father died in an Indigenous attack. Her mother’s deathbed confession reveals instead that Mojag Bailie is alive and that Rachelle’s own ancestry has been concealed, sending her aboard a ship to search for the man whose survival changes her understanding of the family.
Pirate attack and captivity carry the journey into the violent Atlantic economy surrounding Charles Towne. Romance and adventure unfold beside slavery, trade and racial hierarchy, forcing Rachelle to decide whether inherited prejudice will govern her response to truth. The series ends by testing whether the ring’s Christian legacy means preserving family pride or recognising the full humanity of people colonial society exploits.
