Arm from the Deep

13. ARM FROM THE DEEP - OLOFF THE PIRATE SERIES

The Indian Ocean, a tempestuous realm of merchant ships and lurking shadows. A pirate scourge threatens the Dutch East India Company, and Admiral Rynhardt te Hoogen, a rising star, finds himself embroiled in a dangerous game. Accusations fly, loyalties are tested, and Rynhardt’s unwavering belief in the notorious pirate, Oloff van Wagenaar, as something other than a villain, becomes his undoing. Stripped of his rank and banished from his homeland, he’s a pawn in a game orchestrated by his ambitious rival, Gerhard Rheedert.

Gerhard, propelled by his father’s influence and a hunger for power, claims the glory of destroying the pirate haven of Deelen Bay, painting himself as the Company’s savior. But beneath the veneer of heroism lies a dark secret, one that connects him to the very pirates he claims to have vanquished. His ambition knows no bounds, and Rynhardt’s downfall is only the beginning.

Lost in the chaos is Rynette du Bois, a woman caught between two worlds, haunted by a past tragedy and bound by a complicated connection to both Oloff and Rynhardt. She finds solace and friendship with the exiled admiral, but a treacherous act rips her from his side, forcing her to confront her deepest desires and grapple with a dangerous truth. Oloff the Pirate may not be the villain everyone believes him to be, and his fate, as well as her own, is far from sealed.

When Rynhardt’s reputation is threatened once again, is Oloff really dead as everyone believes, or does he emerge from the shadows, bringing with him the full force of his wrath? The game becomes deadly and he must expose the truth behind Gerhard’s rise to power, even if it means sacrificing everything. All the while, Rynette is the prize that is yearned for. Can the exiled hero and the haunted pirate join hands once again to save her, or will old betrayals doom them all to a watery grave?
