Christine McGowan Miss McGowan Christine McGowan Prosperity is a great teacher, adversity greater. CHRISTINE McGOWAN has known both. A feud between townspeople and her wealthy merchant father led to rioting outside her family's estate when she was but fifteen years old. A wild fire in young Christine's eyes (as well as two sharp daggers in her clutches) allowed her to escape with her own life. She found a kindred soul in Sir Stephan the Silent, an English gentleman left mute by a pirate's dagger many years ago. Stephen trained Christine in the art of the blade, cultivating a fondness in her for humiliating those who would underestimate her skill. Fate would not grant this girl the simple life of a merchant's daughter. Life on the ocean would be her destiny. January 1st, 1700-What a drunken bunch of louts! Could this mob of ill-behaved gorillas be the crew you've chosen? No matter, they'll be sober when you sat sail at sun-up. What's this? One of them bears the uniform of the Governor's page. You receive a message: the Governor demands to meet with you before you depart. Odd. The old goat could barely remember your name when you were a polite young lady about town. No matter, you decide. You will stop by the mansion before setting sail. Perhaps there is profit to be made by it. January 1st, 1705. Enough is enough! After fighting pirates ten times her size, becoming the most successful merchant in the Caribbean, AND crushing Sebastian LaRoche's fleet, CHRISTINE McGOWAN has had enough! It would be one thing if she got to keep the spoils of war and the profits of trade, but NO, daddy had to ''put it away where it's safe''. He's such a stuffy banker! Oh the nerve! Proving she's not a little girl wasn't enough. Fighting pirates wasn't enough. So now, Christine is starting over. If she does well for herself, she's not telling daddy!
