The Pirate King

“When you used to speak of the sea, you were always chasing after something. Now you speak like you’re running away. What are you running from, Blake?”Blake Ransom, wanted pirate and Sea King, is at rock bottom.Trapped aboard a sunken brigantine and surrounded by deep-sea monsters, he’s been kept alive the last two years by his sea breath.One fateful day, Blake escapes his prison, only to get pressganged aboard another nautical nightmare, the HMS Swift. There he meets Eselder, the ship’s newest cabin boy. A shy, stuttering lad, Eselder seems harmless enough. But he has a secret of his own: he’s actually the King’s missing son. King Jaimes the Fourth, to be precise…Blake’s traitorous brother.Twenty-five years ago, as a young boy, Blake made a desperate bargain to save Jaimes’s life. Ever since then, he’s been trying to outrun the memory of that hellish night, and its consequences. But aboard the Swift, there’s nowhere to run. And when the biggest demon of his past winds up aboard the man-o’-war too, there’s no way around it: Blake will have to face everything he’s spent a lifetime trying to escape…or he and Eselder will never escape the Swift alive.
