The British crown has placed a price on Jackys head, so she returns to the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston to lay low. But the safe haven doesnt last--a school outing goes awry as Jacky and her classmates are abducted and forced into the hold of the Bloodhound, a ship bound for the slave markets on the Barbary Coast. All of Jackys ingenuity, determination, and plain old good luck will be put to the test as she rallies her delicate classmates to fight together and become their own rescuers.
