A pirate       and a mermaid fell in love. A map was marked with a glowing X. And       a Republic was born.       In the present day, two girls are given a history assignment:       to try and piece together the rise and fall of the famous and corrupt       pirate Republic, which once formed their island home.         As Reggie and Maeve sift fact from fiction, they realise that       everything they've been told about the Republic is wrong. That the       problem with history being told by the victors is that a lot       gets left out. That ancient legend might be uncomfortably       close to home. As their tentative friendship deepens into something       more, they realise that a magical world could be on their very       doorstep – if only they could find the map...
