About this audiobook
Anne Bonny and Mary Read were never the glamorous pirate queens of legend. Virago Sepsis drags listeners into the suffocating heat, rot, violence, and misogyny that shaped their real lives at sea. In this dark, immersive audiobook, Lucius Vespillo tears apart the romance and exposes the blood, fear, hidden pregnancies, festering wounds, and brutal performance of fierceness required to survive among men who saw women as prey. If you want pirate history without the myth—raw, intimate, and unflinching—this is the descent.
