Finding herself at sea on a ship captained by an abusive bully Shana cheated death, turning her life around.  Living amongst a rough, all-male crew the determined wench rose to become the most feared pyrate captain of all time.  Joining forces with Irish pyrate queen Grace O' Malley, Shana declared war on the English slave trade and was charged with treason by Queen Elizabeth.

With her multi-cultural pyrate crew she sailed the known seas building up a vast fortune but the shadow of the noose always threatened.  During her bi-sexual life she enjoyed many lovers but endured agonizing rapes one of which resulted in the birth of her adored son Patrick.
