    About this ebook

    Stories intertwine in a world where pirates rule the seven seas and myth-steeped islands with untapped treasure lie on the horizon.

    When Luke is unsuspectingly kidnapped into a life of barbarism and piracy he finds himself with a choice: escape from his confines and live a life of freewill, or continue to fight in the gladiatorial arena to ensure the safety of his companions. Growing tension between two powerful pirate lords ensures that this choice might very well be the last he makes.

    Alongside this, a young, insignificant man, Art has to try and flee an island filled with indigenous dangers. He is by no means heroic but understands that fleeing might not be his only way out. Should he have the courage, Art could save the island and its inhabitants, but doing so would pose a threat to his own life. Perhaps he’s not even brave enough to save himself.
