The story follows the protagonist, Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician with a diverse background as a soldier and sailor. After being arrested during a rebellion, Blood is convicted of treason and transported to Barbados. There, he becomes a skilled physician and forms a connection with Arabella Bishop, the niece of his owner. Blood escapes with fellow convicts, becomes a successful pirate, and eventually receives a pardon after the Glorious Revolution. The novel ends with the implication that Blood will marry Arabella and become the governor of Jamaica. The book was immensely popular and inspired several sequels and adaptations in various forms of media. Sabatini's approach to historical fiction, basing it closely on real events, adds depth to the story.
