Captain Kidd #25

Francis L'Olonnois starts as a freed bondsman joining a pirate crew in 1664, where brutal treatment at the hands of the captain plants seeds of bitter revenge. After years of savage raids along the coasts of Central America and the Caribbean, L'Olonnois discovers a more profitable approach to plunder—attacking defenseless coastal towns rather than ships—and assembles a fleet to strike the wealthy town of Maracaibo. The story follows his ruthless rise from abused deckhand to feared pirate leader, capturing the true historical account of one of history's most merciless sea raiders.

Ann Bonny trades her tempestuous life as the daughter of a prosperous family for the freedom of the open seas, marrying the charismatic Captain Jim Bly and embracing the adventure of piracy alongside him. But as Ann learns the ways of cutlass and pistol, a ruthless pirate named Calico Jack sets his sights on her—and trouble brews on the horizon. This rousing tale captures the fierce spirit that earned Ann her fearsome reputation as the Sorceress of the Briney Deep.
