Scum of the Seas: A Cape pirate adventure, Book 3

When ruthless sea raiders burn his world to ashes and steal the woman he loves.

A desperate captain must join forces with a man branded a pirate himself.

Plunge into the Golden Age of Piracy (1690-1720), where the treacherous waters of the Cape of Good Hope are just the beginning of a worldwide adventure.

On the smoldering African coast, Captain Gascon Dumont’s life is torn apart. Betrayed by cunning corsairs, his fort lies in ruins and his beloved Minette has vanished. His only hope lies in Oloff van Wagenaar. A man hunted as a pirate, yet driven to clear his name from the very atrocities that plague the seas.

Bound by fire and betrayal, the two men forge a fragile alliance to track their enemies from the treacherous Deelen Bay to the deadly waters of the Indian Ocean. But as their chase intensifies, loyalties are tested and vengeance becomes personal. When Oloff’s own love is taken, the hunt spirals into a vendetta that will push both men to the brink.

With every battle, the stakes rise. A powerful Count’s capture could ignite war, and Oloff’s reputation as a pirate may finally consume him.

Packed with swashbuckling sea battles, dangerous intrigue, and high-stakes drama, Scum of the Seas is perfect for fans of Rafael Sabatini’s Captain Blood, Bernard Cornwell’s naval adventures, and the intrigue of Black Sails.
