Maisie is the youngest child of seven. Due to her 'deformities' her family kept her hidden deep inside of their estate with only rumors to prove she existed.

Rorik North did not believe such tales, and one night, he met the seventh D'Arcy. He was injured during a scuffle with men determined to rape Maisie. She took him to the docks, and they eventually made love in his cabin of the ship.

The next day she vanished, and Rorik soon followed to offer money to her parents for her hand. After days of her being locked away, the exchange ended in blood and triumph.

Maisie and Rorik take part in many adventures together thereafter, with some misfortune and tragedy mixed in.
