Mama Didn't Raise No Criminal: Calico Jack's mother is present at her son's trial, but after he's hanged for piracy, she shows up at Anne and Mary's trial where she accuses Anne of ruining her son whom she refuses to believe wasn't a proud sea captain loyal to England.

Arch-Enemy: Anne holds nothing but contempt towards Lieutenant Robert Maynard who hangs her beloved uncle, lusts after her to the point of raping her, and threatens to take away her spoils. She cannot really retaliate against him in any meaningful way whenever he shows up during her life until she manages to kill him in 1740.

Death Faked for You: This is how Anne escapes from the Jamaican prison-fortress. After she fools the guards by using her skill in holding her breath for a long period of time, Doctor Esteban – whom William Cormac convinced to help Anne and her baby – declares her dead and pretends to take her "corpse" for medical practice and to find a caretaker for her baby, allowing them to escape Jamaica.

Family Relationship Switcheroo: William Cormack reveals in his deathbed that Anne was born out of wedlock to William's clergyman brother Feargus Cormack and his housekeeper Molly Cahill. Feargus didn't want his daughter's life to be marred by the circumstances of her birth, so he pretended to be her uncle all the rest of his life while William – who had fathered with Molly a boy who'd died without anyone's knowledge – took her in as his daughter.

Hanging Around: The book begins with Anne's uncle Feargus Cormack being hanged for smuggling as Lieutenant Robert Maynard presides over the Public Execution. The same fate later befalls Toddie Fitz-Riley, a carpenter accused of piracy, though he says he was forced to serve in John Martel's crew. Like in real life, Jack Rackham is hanged in 1720 and put on display. After Anne beats Maynard in a naval battle, she leads the crew of her French vessel to hang him.

Karma Houdini Warranty: Maynard hangs Feargus Cormack, rapes Anne and plays an indirect role in the arrest and subsequent deaths of Calico Jack, Mary Read and her unborn child without comeuppance, and gets promoted from Lieutenant to Captain. However, when he attempts to raid the French vessel Anne is traveling on in 1740, she mortally wounds him in combat and has him killed through hanging.

Historical Badass Upgrade: Anne's such a wily Action Girl that she accomplishes a few things her real-life counterpart didn't. After being forced to join Blackbeard's crew as a marksman teacher, she manages to escape with some of his treasure without Blackbeard figuring out her gender, and she manages to have Robert Maynard killed during his raid on the French ship she's traveling on.

Fictionalized Death Account: The real-life Robert Maynard died in his home county of Kent in 1751. In this book, Anne kills him in 1740 when he attacks the French merchantman transporting her across the Atlantic Ocean. Governor Charles Eden died of yellow fever in 1722. His book counterpart is alive to reemploy Anne until the year 1740, after which he ends up becoming her clerk for ten years.
