Pirate's Booty — Max Hudson

Captain Armin Folk of the pirate ship Saffiya-a tortured man with a bloodlust toward the people who had hurt him all those years ago. Gabriel Bailey-a former slave turned pirate when the desperation for survival outweighed the need for integrity. In 1733, Armin leads the Saffiya back to his small hometown in Southern England-a horrendous battle with Barbary pirates having damaged the ship and killed her first captain, Louis Cowles. Grieved as he is, Armin is pleased to come across his old friend, Gabriel-someone who had never been "just a slave" to Armin. After the ship gets repaired, Armin, Gabriel and the rest of the crew set sail for African waters. There, Saffiya targets slave ships and protests society's limited conception of liberty. But as Armin heals from his own emotional wounds and helps Gabriel adapt to the life of piracy, a new danger lurks nearby, and it's specifically targeting Saffiya and her captain. In a time where Nassau was no longer of help to pirates, Armin must fight for the survival of his ship, the survival of his crew and the survival of the one man Armin can't live without ever again.
