Katherine Howe's "A True Account" centers on the story of Hannah Masury, a teenage girl in the Golden Age of Piracy, who takes her fate into her own hands and claims a spot on the crew of fearsome pirate Ned Low. Disguised as a cabin boy, she'll be part of a violent and vicious search for treasure, but if she can survive, she might finally be free. Centuries later, professor Marian Beresford sees her own lack of freedom reflected when she uncovers Hannah's story, and she becomes determined to unravel the one mystery Hannah apparently took with her to her grave.
