One story depicts a naval battle between the government sloop Vigilant and the pirate Yardarm Jack, who attempts to plunder a merchant vessel but is ultimately defeated and captured by federal forces led by Lieutenant Curtis. Another story, "Philip Ashton: Boy Pirate Fighter of the Old World," is set during the time of Columbus and recounts how English boy Philip Ashton, visiting his Spanish uncle Don Ivizco, becomes involved with the pirate El Sac and his raiders, with Philip vowing to pursue El Sac after a confrontation.
When pirate raids plague the shipping lanes around the Shetland Isles in 1605, Sir William Monson devises a daring deception to hunt down the elusive sea hawks and the mysterious figure who shelters them. Disguised as a humble map-maker, Monson sets a trap that draws the raiders straight to his ship—but a brutal storm and a shocking discovery on land threaten to expose him before he can locate their hidden stronghold. It's a battle of wits and seamanship as Monson races to outmaneuver both the pirates and the man harboring them.
When a desperate knife fight leaves Levi West with a telltale blue scar across his face, he seizes the chance to become the pirate Blueskin—conning his honest step-brother Hiram into outfitting a ship, then betraying both his crew and the man who trusted him to hoard the treasure for himself. As Blueskin's reign of terror grips the Carolina coast, his past and present collide in ways he never anticipated.
Glaf, the warrior son of Chieftain Vors, is thrust from Viking games into war when pirates from Jomsborg attack his father's castle—a clash that changes everything. Years later, transformed into a ruthless sea rover, Glaf infiltrates the pirate stronghold itself, driven by a singular purpose that only a face scarred by blade can settle. In this tale of Viking honor and vengeance, a young jarling becomes something far darker in pursuit of justice.
