Taja the Ghost

Publisher's blurb:

Captain Taja Morienti – simply referred to as the “Ghost” or the “Ghost Captain” – is a pirate leader unlike any other. Controlling a fleet of dozens of ships, the Ghost runs her vessels as a private profiteering navy. For the right price Taja prides herself on being able to solve any problem for anyone able to pay. Her Officers, notoriously loyal (and wealthy), have hundreds of sailors at their disposal and the Ghost Fleet carry out multiple operations every week. No one knows where Taja is based, and no other pirate seems capable of matching her tenacity. This has made the Ghost Captain and her fleet an attractive target for the pirate-hunter Jedidiah Thomas, English turncoat and now an operative of the French Crown.
