Life aboard a merchant ship as the cook's daughter is wonderful indeed. Wonderful, that is, until the fateful day their ship is pillaged and her father killed by the infamous pirate, Bloody Gunn. Wounded by the shocking truth she discovers and broken from a bitter heart, Captainess is angry at God and on the run from the evil pirate who wants the mysterious opal ring she wears. Now aboard the privateering vessel "Seamaiden," Captainess finds herself falling in love with the widowed Captain William Steed. But at what cost? When William learns the truth about her past, will their love survive? And when Gunn finally tracks her down, will Captainess heed the Lord and forgive as Jesus did?
