Pirates Execute the Verdict: A romantic pirate adventure, Book 8

A ghost ship adrift on the African coast.

A deck awash in blood and corpses.

For Captain Simon Verbeeck, this is no ordinary prize, it is the beginning of a nightmare.

Gold Coast of Africa (1726). The famed pirate hunter Simon Verbeeck discovers a ship of the dead, its crew slaughtered in a mystery drenched with blood. But before he can uncover the truth, he is ambushed. His legendary vessel, the Red Ruby, is stolen en his crew scattered. Simon himself is left for dead by a charismatic traitor on a twisted crusade.

Stripped of power and hunted across hostile shores, Simon becomes a pawn in a madman’s game. Helpless, he watches as the Red Ruby is reborn as a pirate ship, its new captain willing to spill oceans of blood for his cause.

Beset by the traitor’s fleet and a hostile native tribe, Simon must claw his way back from ruin. To reclaim his ship and his honor, he may have to become more ruthless than the very monsters he hunts.

Packed with betrayal, mystery, and relentless high-seas action, Pirates Execute the Verdict is perfect for fans of Master and Commander and the pulse-pounding drama of Black Sails.

Set sail on the eighth book of Meiring Fouche’s unforgettable pirate saga today.
