The Blue Ruby

15. THE BLUE RUBY - OLOFF THE PIRATE SERIES

France teeters on the brink. With the King’s untimely death, young Prince Etienne is poised to ascend the throne, but a shadow of doubt looms large. Stolen crown jewels, vital for the coronation ceremony, threaten not only Etienne’s legitimacy but the very stability of the kingdom. A desperate plea reaches Oloff van Wagenaar, a man shrouded in mystery and whispered rumors, called Oloff the Pirate.

Once a scourge of the seas, now seemingly reformed, he and his men are given the impossible task to track down the ruthless pirates responsible for the theft. From the gilded halls of Parisian palaces to the lawless havens of the Caribbean, Oloff plunges into a thrilling chase, battling not only cutthroat pirates but also cunning adversaries closer to home. He is forced to infiltrate the pirate world to obtain the stolen jewels and track down the captain, using his charm and wits. Political deception, and a race against time all while dealing with the dangerous, cunning and unpredictable men who threaten all.

But Oloff’s past refuses to stay buried. His reputation precedes him, raising suspicion and mistrust, even among those he seeks to help. As he confronts old demons and forges unexpected alliances, he finds himself entangled in a passionate connection with the spirited Rynette du Bois, a woman whose life is intrinsically linked to the fate of the jewels and the French crown. With the coronation drawing near and enemies closing in, Oloff faces an impossible choice, secure the crown, or surrender to the allure of a forbidden love. When double-crosses are revealed and a dangerous enemy puts his hands on the stones first, will Oloff manage to recover the jewels in time, or will he be forced to see France fall to the hands of an evil ruler? Only time will tell.
