The year was 1876. I drew my first breath in California, but my upbringing belonged to the cold propriety of a North Carolina aristocracy. At fifteen, I learned the truth of my birth—illegitimate, a secret they'd dressed in silk. I ran. By the time I was nearly sixteen, I'd convinced myself I was in love with a captain of the Royal Navy. It was the freedom I craved, not the man. So under a cloak of darkness, I severed every tie. For years, my fate was a question mark upon the maps... until the stories began to call me a legend.
