Reviews for The Bride of Blackbeard...
Brynn Chapman has crafted a
story that is a tapestry of lore, legend, and fact. Bride of
Blackbeard will leave you asking questions until the last
page.
Chapman’s passion for research
into the ailments, from the ordinary to the bizarre, drive
this book forward and enhance already well-crafted
characters. The heroine, Constanza, is exactly as the author
shows: unique, unconventional and a champion for rejected
and lonely. Hero Lucian is a refreshing mix of vulnerability
and strength. And tiny Meg has a bit of us all in her. At
some point we all feel as she has—alone, with our only
recourse to lock ourselves away in a world all our own and
hope someone will listen. Chapman’s medical background
definitely adds to this book, and the author notes at the
end were a definite plus.
Parts of the plot could have
been focused more as I found myself pulled in by certain
aspects of her writing more than others, but Bride of
Blackbeard made me concerned for the characters and curious
to learn more about the pirate himself.
For this reader that is a mark
of good fiction.

The Bride of Blackbeard
1718
In leaving behind Bristol, England, Constanza Smythe bids
farewell and good riddance to a tumultuous childhood and her
alcoholic surgeon father, for the life of a Governess in
America.
However, her dream for a new life in the colonies quickly
darkens into a nightmare. Her new plantation home is fraught
with terror. It seems the estate sits beneath a cloud of
doom. The livestock and slaves are sick and dying; chains on
the tiny school desks, and nighttime screaming make her fear
for her life.
And worst of all, she has unwittingly captured the attention
of the most infamous pirate ever known-Edward Teach. Or as
he is known to Outer Banks townsfolk- Blackbeard.
