The Best of the Brave and the Bold #5

In "The Ghost Ship!", a vengeful spirit rises from the misty bog, driven by a vow of retribution. Once betrayed and cast to his death, Jon now returns as a phantom, haunting the cursed ship that lies trapped in the marsh—his ghostly footsteps crossing the mire on a hidden zip line, his presence a whisper before the storm. When a rogue wave lifts the ship and sends it sailing through the night, the pirate captain who doomed him finally faces the past he thought buried.

In "Captive Champion," the Golden Gladiator Marcus is forced into a deadly arena fight when the scheming Cinna threatens to harm Lucia, his niece and the gladiator’s secret love. Trapped in a forest ambush and armed only with a broken sword, Marcus must outwit his captors and fight his way to freedom—his only goal, to save Lucia and flee with her into the unknown.

In the shadowed halls of Prince John’s masquerade, Robin Hood plays a daring game, disguising himself as his own legend to infiltrate the dungeon and free Little John. As they flee through Sherwood Forest, the chase turns treacherous—tracks glow beneath their feet, revealing a trail left by a hidden courtier’s substance. With the forest itself seeming to betray them, Robin must outthink the trap before the trackers close in, turning the wilds of Sherwood into a maze of cunning and danger.
