The Sea Gypsies

Count Louis de Barmon is doomed to a pirate’s fate. Now his nickname is Monbar the Despoiler. He has no home, and his beloved woman, Clara, has been separated from him. The whole world is against him! Even the main pirate stronghold—the island of Tortuga—is in the hands of Spanish soldiers. Where now to drop anchor? And where to find his beloved?

He doesn’t yet know that he has gained a new enemy—a powerful and brave one. The young naval officer Gusman de Tudela has recently learned that his mother was a victim of the pirate leader. And now he is ready to do anything to avenge the dishonor done to his family. Even to die. And only one person can stop the catastrophe—a woman who loves him with all her heart. Her name is Clara… But will she manage to untie the knot of revenge that is tightening all the more?
