Chapter 1 Read First

Ladies and Gentleman,

Landlubbers and Mateys,

Cowardly Swabs, Pegleg crooks, Ruffians, and Scurvy dogs...

Welcome...

I invite you into a world that is not for the faint of heart.

Between these pages there be Pirates!!!

Oppression and Tyranny may be their plight but raiding and pillaging is their life.

On the briny deep they have complete disregard for authority, they plunder with impunity, they are ruthless and deadly.

"Dead men tell no tale"

Therefore, hide your maidens, your rum, and your prized possessions.

As you go further beyond these pages, you will not only witness mutiny, vile unspeakable acts, and terror but also forbidden love, heartache, betrayal, and fierce passion.

There is no gentleness here.

Before we proceed I hereby present The code of Tempests Embrace

Before we leave these pages there are rules ye scalawags will be following.

There will be no copying this story, this tale belongs to the Author, you will be courteous on these decks and mind your manners. What your eyes be reading is not for gentlefolk so don't torment the Author with your blimey complaints.

A standard compensation of alike is greatly appreciated.

But, ye comments will do bloody good for a poor soul...

Any who do not follow these rules will be thrown overboard.

If you agree to these terms comment below Aye, Aye....

If not....piss off...

Very well then, anchors away!!!

But be warned....

Ye who enters here,

Abandon all hope...

Yours truly,

First Mate Quinn
