Stanley Wells never wanted to be a hero. Not really.
He was a nobody. No title, no future. Just a sharp mind, a loyal heart, and a best friend who dragged him into more trouble than he could talk them out of.
This time? That trouble lands them a spot aboard a privateer ship.
It's not glory they're chasing. Just a chance. A way out. A shot at being something more than forgotten.
But the sea doesn't hand out happy endings. Training is brutal. The crew is ruthless. And danger waits with every tide. Still... for the first time, Stanley finds something that feels like home: a crew worth fighting for, a purpose worth bleeding for, and a future worth reaching for.
Only, the rumors are true.
The Sea Reavers are real.
They're building something.
And they've set their sights on burning everything Stanley's finally come to love.
Loyalty will be tested. Blood will be spilled. And somewhere in the wreckage, a legend will rise.
