Her only option is to be married off to Mayor Bunkle's evil and unpopular son who she wants nothing to do with. Thankfully, as a result of her brilliant Native American GBF, Sparkle, - short for the son that loves sparkling things, the wedding is sabotaged.
Pippa and William's paths cross when William and Bash are stationed in Yarmouth, during a daring horse race. William and Pippa soon find their lives entangled as do Bash and Sparkle who are smitten at first sight. William struggles to balance his role in maintaining the crown's power against the very people Pippa is fighting for. Still, Pippa finds something endearing about William. Then, William and Bash are shipped off to war. It will take sheer will, determination, and a lot of help from Sparkle, his fearless tribe, and Pippa's loyal badass whale friend, Moby for this team to defeat pirate, Black Bellamy, and his double-crossing sidekick parrot, Madame Teteux to land home safely and back in their lovers' arms.
