The Mattherhill Pirates

Treasure has surfaced in Orlund, black market gold with no known origins. The pirates who sold it have gone missing, vanished seemingly without a trace.

Meanwhile in the small town of Scriftshire two mercenaries knock on the door of disgraced and disowned former aristocrat Nicolai Serreford. His uncle has just died, unexpectedly leaving him everything. Thrust back into a world Nick thought he'd left behind, he finds himself in the middle of a quandary when he discovers his late uncle's wife has gone missing. A renowned archaeologist, Lenora Sweet was last seen two months ago preparing for a quiet expedition to regions unknown.

With a hastily bought ship and a makeshift crew cobbled together from mercenaries, war veterans and former pirates, Nick goes haring off on the trail of his missing aunt without a second thought. Heedless of whatever danger might lie ahead.

Set against a backdrop of Edwardian Steampunk, The Mattherhill Pirates is part adventure and part mystery, all wrapped up in piracy and politics.
