Kidnapped by the English Navy. Rescued by pirates. Now torn between riches—and the life he left behind.
When Jacob Penjerrick is press-ganged into the English navy and treated little better than a slave, he swears he'll return to his beloved Cornwall.
But fate has other plans.
After a brutal sea battle leaves him stranded, Jacob seizes his chance to escape. Joined by a ragtag band of fellow castaways, he throws his lot in with a pirate crew—men who answer to no king, live by the cutlass, and promise riches beyond imagination.
As the infamous pirate captain spins tales of gold and glory, Jacob must choose: will he keep his vow and find his way home—or surrender to the exotic freedom of the Caribbean? Can he trust the men he sails with? And will he live long enough to make that choice at all?
For fans of Bernard Cornwell and swashbuckling adventure, this tale plunges readers into the savage beauty of the 17th-century Caribbean—where loyalty is scarce, death is close, and freedom always comes at a price.
