Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. She falls in love with a pirate, but when he returns to the sea, Jacquotte decides to make her own way. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender.Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. She forms a deep bond with Bahati, an African-born woman who has escaped slavery and also disguises herself as a man to navigate the world. They join forces with Dirkje De Wulf, a fearless adventurer who also lives as a man at sea. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman.For the next twenty years, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b8f7fd30-e472-11f0-820b-e5e04fbe28e9-rimg-w493-h740-dc362d28-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/petersburg/fire-sword-and-sea-book-tour-w-vanessa-riley/100001979119828684 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Petersburg - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Resist Booksellers Bookstore - **lat**: 37.2311804 - **long**: -77.4042887 - **full address**: Resist Booksellers Bookstore, 233 North Sycamore Street, Petersburg, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fire Sword & Sea Book Tour w/ Vanessa Riley - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/2bcba244d3abd2f9bf766562ee0b31d12ae3f2b6e09f81248ce8f1d695f1497c-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1766984192 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fire Sword & Sea Book Tour w/ Vanessa Riley being held? - **A:** Fire Sword & Sea Book Tour w/ Vanessa Riley takes place on Mon, 12 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 12 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Resist Booksellers Bookstore, 233 North Sycamore Street, Petersburg, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Fire Sword & Sea Book Tour w/ Vanessa Riley? - **A:** Tickets for Fire Sword & Sea Book Tour w/ Vanessa Riley are priced at USD 39 per person.
