Lady Arianna Halverson can see ghosts. She has been able to ever since she was a child. She helps ghosts complete their unfinished business so they can move on. Captain William Markham is hung for piracy due to the accusations of his enemy. Will is drawn to Arianna through an amulet and asks her to help him exact his vengeance on his enemy from the grave.
This book was okay. There were times when I was really interested in what was going on and times when I became frustrated with the characters and looked forward to moving on to another book. It was an interesting premise, but I didn't feel the book developed into anything truly special.

Excellent book! The first paranormal I ever read, it's because of Ms. Labud I'm now a fan of the genre.
