When Countess Celine Dawson witnesses her brothers’ death by the hands of pirates in her dreams, the past of her boyfriend comes back to haunt him. In a race to break her impending arranged marriage, Julian and Celine embark on a journey to rediscover the ties of the USS Manifesto that binds them both.
Plagued by the recent deaths her two brothers, Elijah and Roger Dawson, Countess Celine Dawson is announced to be married off to the the heir to the Scottish throne, Prince Ian Dume, a snarly ruthless man with bouts of anger of a manifest child beast. On the eve of her nuptials with Dume, Evelyn is taken away in to a nightmare when her brothers visit her. In this dream, she watches her brothers live their secret lives away from their blue blood lives in Dover, England. Roger and Elijah (a lawyer and a doctor respectively) help the Napachee Creek Aborigines in their reservation in Cook Islands, New Zealand off the coast of Rarotonga when Captain Selvaggio headlines The Red Enigma pirate ship and massacres the tribe, including her brothers. As the dreams progress, Celine realizes her brothers death were targeted murders. Elijah and Roger knew too much about the New Zealand corrupt government. The czar profited from the civilian deaths and bootlegged cocaine. During Roger’s case, he tried and sentenced Selvaggio’s men to prison and indicted the czar incumbent. In the two years of private phone calls and secret meetings between Elijah, Roger, and Julian Brody, Celine’s secret suitor, Elijah married the Aborigines Chief Indian Queen and delivered their son, Andrew River Dawson. As the nightmare reached its end, Celine witnesses Selvaggio and his men ruthlessly murder her brothers because of their involvement with the USS Manifesto, an East Indian shipping and trade ocean liner that breeds seven sister vessels Manifest Destiny, Destiny, Dreamweaver, Escapade, Mermaid, Adam, and the Chameleon.
As she awakens from the nightmare, Celine is called to the library where she tries to reveal the truth in front of her parents and Ian but to no avail. She is believed to be delusional. Celine walks out of the library when Julian is at the front door wishing her the very best in life. The lovers cannot hide their discontent much longer. Not long after he is dismissed by Ian and Celine’s parents, Julian reenters the home through Celine’s window sill. He reveals to her the truth of who is. His name is Julian Charles Carroll, the son of shipping tycoon Charles Blackwood Carroll and his wife Matilda, and the heir to the Crescent sword and the seven vessel league of the USS Manifesto. When Julian was ten years old, Selvaggio killed his parents and left him for dead in order to gain the Carroll’s inheritance.
With this new knowledge, Celine and Julian set sail to avenge the deaths of their family members and recover Julian’s birthright, the Crescent’s sword, for which he fights to the death with Selvaggio and his men in the Crescent’s Crusade. Along the way, the lovers meet their rag tag team led by Oscar, the Skipper of the USS Manifesto and family friend of the Carrolls. Julian and Celine sail across the seas to claim what belongs to them.
