It was a time when Captains were Kings and men crossed oceans by nothing more than a breath of wind and a belly full of fire. Life was hard and superfluous as saltwater. Men were cruel and war-like, fueled by their lust for gold and glory. Born to this era and exiled to an island by his father’s prudence, Joshua Wright longs to learn the story that’s been hidden from him since the day he was born and the day his mother died. It is a story that begins with a secret, a dangerous truth that threatens to unravel the mightiest monarch in the known world. It is this deadly privilege that whips away his former life in a storm of steel, thrusting him headlong into the treacherous waters of the Caribbean. Here, a demon prowls, his flag whipping red high atop his mainmast. But where there is hate, there is love, and love, after all, is truly the greatest adventure.
