Fleeing persecution on both sides of the Atlantic, a fearless Jewess defies seventeenth century convention to forge a sisterhood of pirates—but she cannot escape the evil that threatens those she holds most dear.

Born in the hold of a refugee ship fleeing the Portuguese Inquisition in 1629, Miryam Asoze and her family journey from Lisbon to Madeira to Dutch Brazil in search of a place to call home. As she comes of age, Miryam refuses to accept the narrow conventions imposed on girls at the time. Drawn to the sea, she learns the mariner's craft under a pirate uncle's eye. When her family endures war, famine, and hatred only to find themselves exiled yet again, she reinvents herself as the enigmatic Captain M. In the heart of the Caribbean, she assembles a daring crew of women bent on vengeance against the oppressors of the age.

But Captain M cannot outrun her past. Her choices strain family loyalties until she discovers that the greatest threat to the life she has built—and those most precious to her—lurks nearby. She must decide: how much is she willing to sacrifice to protect them?

Spanning four decades and inspired by the little-known history of Sephardic Jewish refugees in the New World, Captain M is a sweeping historical adventure about resilience, identity, and the persistence of love and friendship in tumultuous times. From the shadow of the Inquisition to the lawless waters of the Caribbean, it tells the extraordinary story of one woman's determination to chart her own destiny.
