Though born out of wedlock, Mornay is a favored companion of King Charles II, indulging in a life of gaming and flirtation. His path crosses with Barbara Clerke, a spirited and wealthy English orphan, whom he rescues from a perilous accident. Initially disdainful of his dissolute lifestyle, Barbara soon finds her world upended by a shocking revelation: Mornay is not only of noble birth but is the true heir to her family's fortune. Framed for murder and forced to flee across the seas, Mornay embarks on a journey filled with piratical escapades and mutiny.
