Wow.
Very nice sequel! Surprised that Corbluff isn’t the Captain though. Lovely twist.

Pirate Lore, i myself am terrible in this genre, the opening sentense yuck i could see and almost smell. Great writing. LoA

Fabulous first paragraph! I love this intro into her new life aboard the ship!

So his introduction will give her a new identity on the ship. If he’s not the captain, who exactly is he?
