After being washed overboard during a typhoon, Jacky Faber lands in the Far East. She gains treasure and sails to England with hopes of buying herself and Jaimy a pardon. In the meantime, Jaimy, seeking revenge against those he blames for Jacky's death, becomes the legendary Black Highwayman. Jacky's adventures continue to entertain readers with the historical flourishes characteristic of the series.
