‘Cold, heavy, the rain danced with leaden feet on the thatching of the shed where, late one February night in 1693, William Christian Bright, boatswain of Her Majesty's frigate Gossamer, sweating drunk with Kill Duyvil rum, thrust himself furiously toward climax above the half-witted serving maid from the tavern next door."
Striding though the Spanish Main is the larger than life figure of Billy Bright, pirate and neglectful father. His pinnace Demon flies the black flag. His Black mate, Scarrow, plots his overthrow. His son, Georgie, is a lonely, wordless boy whose only pleasure lies in slowly killing small animals.
This violent tale of a violent time is not for the faint of heart. Welcome to the 1700s, when the only things that count are gold...and blood.
Genre: Thriller
