Shanty For The Soul

They've wounded his ship, they've murdered his parrot, they've battered his reputation, and broken his trust. Everything that matters to him has come under attack. Cap'n Silus de Senza, however, is One o' the Eight and will fight to get it all back. Not a single soul will be safe from his wrath, not even those he's sailed alongside for years.

The only person he can trust is Billy Bird, the crow's nest girl, a young pirate with sharp eyes who's about to see more than she ever bargained for.

In the volatile Province of Maudlin, enemies old, new and numerous await. Grand Merchant Xavier Angst bears a grudge that has simmered for eight long years, and he will spend every coin he has to ensure Silus does not escape again. Many others remember de Senza's last visit and have not forgiven him.

Running out of friends, Silus is relieved when he bumps into Cap'n Samira Dalal, another of the infamous Eight, and a pirate renowned for her cool demeanour and sharp wit. Together they learn that one of their number, Brawley the Vile, arrived two days ago and was murdered along with most of his crew. It's too great a coincidence. The harbour town is an elaborate trap, and the more they fight the tighter it grips.

Someone - or something - hunts them, and once again Silus de Senza's arrival in Maudlin will turn the damned place upside-down.
