  1. 1. Saltblood

    A young woman raised as a boy to survive drifts from farm to battlefield to the decks of a pirate ship in the early 1700s, carving out freedom under shifting names as she fights, steals, and loves on the open sea. Torn between desire and disguise, she finds fierce kinship with another woman among a notorious crew, even as violence, hunger, and the colonial world’s strictures close in, leading to capture and a stark reckoning with what it costs to live by her own rules.
