Ivory Dawn

The Razor's Adventures

Ivory Shepard didn’t want to be a pirate when she grew up, but she didn’t plan on being orphaned and alone at 13 with her three cousins either.

After a Spanish raid in Charles Towne left them with nothing, Ivory held her cousins together, trained them to fight for their lives, and led them to a life of quiet refuge on the banks of the Ashley River.

Believing they were out of reach of the hands of unscrupulous men, they found life on the farm a tolerable substitute for the traditional alternatives life would force onto them - until the night the pirates showed up.

Unfortunately for the pirates, these handy young women were ready, and they weren't going anywhere without a fight.
