Secrets of the Deep (Red Sails, #1)
Description
Even the most ruthless pirates change course when the Red Sails crest the horizon.
Once prisoners. Now predators.
Commanding the notorious fleet-Revenge, Vengeance, and Emancipator-an all-female crew of ex-slaves, exiles, and survivors is carving their vengeance across the seas. Once broken by violence, now they are breakers of men. Water witches, sea bitches, mistresses of the tides-they've earned many names, but the penalty for any pirate who crosses them twice is severe.
When the High Lord of Jaranabi is assassinated and his sole heir disappears, chaos strikes the realm. Lord Blarik rises, clawing for power on land and sea. But his dominion ends at the shore.
To rule the oceans, Lord Blarik must do the impossible: capture the Red Sails. He will soon come to understand: these women aren't just rebels. They are vengeance made flesh, and they're coming for blood.
The sea answers to no man-and these women are far more than legend.

Person
Andre Jones made his debut appearance (unless you believe in reincarnation - in which case this is his third) in Wollongong, Australia and is heading towards his 59th birthday.' Ok ok .. enough of that third-person pov ... I was born to Dutch immigrants, and my childhood was somewhat gloomy and challenging. Due to my ever-changing surroundings, I immersed myself with reading, drawing, and sometimes writing. I devoured the works of Enid Blyton before progressing to Tolkien, McAffrey, Asimov, Heinlein and Bradbury. As a young adult, I got lost in many and varied roleplaying games, including - MERP, GURPS, Harn, Skyrealms of Jorune, good old D&D (and its many variants) and Traveller, and also spent far too much time on video games like Skyrim. From the age of 18 I worked in many diverse occupations, including: Security Officer, Police Officer, Park Ranger and finally spending eighteen years as a Petty Officer (Electronics Technician) in the Royal Australian Navy. I currently reside in Melbourne with my lovely - and very understanding - Scottish wife and a British Shorthair cat, Alex. We also have the privilege of owning a beautiful home in Olonzac, in the south of France. This will eventually be our retiring abode, where I've no doubt more storytelling will take place. Now retired, the opportunity to write, roleplay, draw and potter is at my fingertips ... I hope you enjoy reading City of Bridges and immersing yourselves in the Seven Portals series ...
