Desperate to flee the torment of her twisted uncle, Lady Charlisse Bristol procures passage on a doomed merchant ship bound for Port Royal and the father she has always yearned for but has never known. In a foreshadowing of things to come, a fierce storm sinks the ship sending Charlisse adrift on a broken piece of timber, eventually marooning her on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. Stranded, the lone survivor of the storm, Charlisse is determined to survive until she can be rescued and united with her father.
A quick stop-over to careen his ship and relieve it of a few Spanish prisoners, Edmund Merrick, gorgeous and God-fearing captain of the pirate ship Redemption, never imagined he would find a half starved, scantily clad, beautiful if slightly battered, Lady on the island. Whether captured or rescued, Merrick vows to see Charlisse safely to Port Royal; an arduous task given his raucous an unprincipled crew.
Through battles with the Spanish, a thwarted mutiny and lecherous advances by Merrick’s first mate, Charlisse grows to trust this rugged yet godly man with more than just her life. As love begins to bloom, Merrick learns the father Charlisse has been searching for is the murderous Edward the Terror; the very man Merrick has sworn to apprehend and see hanged. But when Merrick is falsely accused of piracy upon a British ship and sentenced to death, they can do nothing but surrender to God’s will.
Abounding with thrills and swashbuckling adventure, The Redemption does not fail to entertain. Tyndall is a master of historical romantic pirate fiction infused with unforgettable lessons in faith and forgiveness. The first in the Legacy of the King’s Pirates trilogy, I look forward to reading book two, The Reliance.
