In Boston, as the Golden Age of Piracy comes to a bloody close,
Hannah Masury – bound into service at a waterfront inn since
childhood – is ready to take her life into her own hands.
When William Fly is hanged for piracy in the town
square, the teenage Hannah is watching. Forced to flee for her
life, Hannah disguises herself as a cabin boy and joins the
pitiless crew of another notorious real-life pirate, Edward "Ned"
Low. To earn her freedom and finally change the tide of her own
future, Hannah must hunt down William Fly's lost treasure.
Meanwhile in 1930, Professor Marian Beresford pieces this
bewitching story together, seeing her own lack of freedom reflected
back at her as she watches Hannah's transformation. At the centre
of Hannah Masury’s account, however, lies a centuries-old
mystery that Marian is determined to solve. It soon becomes clear
that Hannah was once just as determined to take this secret to her
grave. A True Account tells the unforgettable, interleaved
stories of two women in different worlds, both shattering the rules
of their own society, both daring to risk everything to
go forge their own adventure.
