Book Cover & Preview Text
Chapter 1: The Mamaladi Stormer A tall, sturdy lad stood in the ship’s stern, staring out over the frothy waves as night descended and a full moon rose overhead. Anyone who had known him before could see the youth had matured almost overnight, growing taller and more regal in bearing. Yet a hint of uncertainty lingered in his stance. Squinting against the growing darkness, he watched as in the distance harbor lights winked on one at a time, several miles behind the boat, in Buccaneers Bay, the boy’s former home. Somewhere in the bay or perhaps now on the open water a cursed sea captain named Stonecold Ambioca impatiently walked the deck of his pirate ship, the Renegade, as it headed out to sea in search of a way to find the lad. Destroying the boy – to free Captain Ambioca of the curse of belonging to the Undead –would also prevent young Scarlet from fulfilling his destiny. The boy, Scarlet Rosendale, and his parents Alice and Thomas Rosendale, had narrowly escaped their home at The Nook, an inn nestled in the harbor to welcome seafarers with a clean bed and hearty food. Without the help of four close friends and Strongy the One-Armed Slayer in a clever escape plan designed by the pirate and former crewmate of Captain Ambioca, Scarlet would by now be imprisoned on the Renegade as a slave to be tortured and killed to break the Curse of Bodiaka. Watching the gulls swoop low over the water in search of fish, Scarlet wondered if his friends Jeffey, Frankin, and Domiq were safe. And had his life-long harbor pal Skimpy been able to escape the revenge of Ambioca for helping Scarlet and his family get away? Scarlet hoped his friends had not come to harm from the deadly pirate crew of the Renegade – the ship that had formerly belonged to his great-grandfather and was rightfully his to claim one day.
