⚓ Blackbeard and Herbert leave the crew behind on a mission: Kill Calico Jack. ⚓
When Edward takes advantage of an opportunity to assassinate Calico Jack, they get far more than they bargained for in a revelation that sends waves of doubt through the young pirates.
Herbert leaves to finish off Calico Jack on his own, but Edward follows, and the two find themselves in the lion's den. Stuck on an enemy ship, surrounded by battle-hardened men and a fiery female captain loyal to Calico Jack, a single misstep lies between them and a watery grave.
Anne and the rest of the crew sail after them but land on an island under enemy control. They're greeted with warm smiles, but when the sun sets and a bell made of a familiar gold is sounded, the demons are unleashed.
Can Edward and Herbert keep their identities secret long enough to kill Calico Jack?
With an entire island against them, can Anne and company escape with their lives and catch up with Edward and Herbert before it's too late?

This book is still relatively new, and so there isn't much data at the moment.
Grace rose to her feet in that same measured, even, and slow way she had moved when she'd knelt. "I don't permit liars on my ship," she said, "nor those who kill a crewmate."
In one motion, Grace pulled a pistol from her belt and fired it at the back of Nigel's head, his last supplication brought short by a lead ball through the brain. His pulpy mass exploded onto the deck below as the loud crack rang across the ship and took all other noises with it if but for a brief moment.
When the other noises returned, although stunted by the crew recognizing the sound of gunfire, Edward was able to process what had just happened.
Edward felt pressure on his sleeve and noticed John had gripped his shoulder and a part of his clothes. When Edward looked over, he let go.
"Ugh, got blood on me boots!" Grace lamented. "Get this mess off my ship," she commanded. The senior officers leapt into action and dragged the bloody body of Nigel away.
Grace looked into the eyes of the two remaining attackers, followed by Edward, John, and Herbert, one by one. "Let this be a lesson to each of you. I'm the captain here, and I don't take kindly with my crew trying to kill each other. Or being a cunt. Don't be like Nigel," she said, waving a hand at the splayed viscera on the deck and over her copper greaves.
Satisfied with the looks of shock plastered on the faces of her audience, she gave a curt nod before she turned and walked away from the scene. The slamming of her copper boots echoed down the deck, cutting through the growing crowd's animated questions about what had happened.
The whole event was so quick, the only remnant left of the fight and of Nigel was his knife still lodged in the wood beside the surgeon's room.
