The unforeseen happened at Port Royal, Jamaica, in 1692. Nearly two-thirds of the town slipped into the sea in a matter of minutes. Many saw it as the wrath of God, for it was described as the "wickedest place on earth." It was a safe haven for pirates and all manner of unscrupulous people and dealings.

Jeyne Mortimer, the illegitimate daughter of the Master Swordsman of Louis' French Army, had been sent away to a convent, but she escaped and took to the sea, encountering adventures in England, America, and the Caribbean before settling in Port Royal. It was there that she met and became involved with Harrison Carson, a Scottish trader.

The Black Douglas sailed the oceans, trading and clashing with many along the way—from Scotland to the coast of America, Central America, the Caribbean, and Madagascar. Jeyne was by his side after their meeting and the loss of her tavern at Port Royal. But they had made plenty of enemies in their travels, and their adventures were far from over.
