The Mediterranean’s most feared pirate hides a deadly secret.
He was once a Dutch naval captain.
Plunge into the Golden Age of Piracy (1690–1720), where the treacherous waters of the Cape of Good Hope are just the beginning of a worldwide adventure.
The year is 1702. Ruthless pirate Fernand Belmonte has seized a crucial island trade post, threatening to ignite war across the Mediterranean. To stop him, Dutch sea captain Oloff van Wagenaar goes undercover. But what begins as a daring rescue mission soon unravels into a sinister web of international intrigue, spun by a shadowy Spanish nobleman whose ambitions could set Europe’s empires ablaze.
Captured, stripped of his uniform, and forced into the world of cutthroats and corsairs, Oloff must play a treacherous game of shifting alliances, where one wrong move could cost him his life. Amidst cannon fire and cutlass duels, he finds himself drawn to Maryke, the governor’s daughter, whose forbidden love becomes both his greatest strength and his deepest vulnerability.
As battles rage on sea and shore, Oloff faces an impossible choice. Embrace the ruthless pirate identity he despises… or lose everything, including the woman he loves. The fate of nations, and his very soul, hang in the balance.
