Excerpt Teaser:
The world is a wicked place, full
of lies and deceit. A man must stand strong against the force of evil, lest he
perish. So I thought before Lenora came into my life. She was an angel,
appearing in a moment’s time upon the deck of Sweet Lenora, the ship
named for her. The ship I commanded. She seemed so fragile a
creature I knew I must protect
her from the world. And protect her I vowed to do for all my days on this
earth. I had locked my heart away in a box of iron, but Lenora broke the seal
and set my poor heart free.
We had gone through much in our
brief days together, Lenora and I. As we ran from the trouble that pursued us
from Rio port, my heart flew against the wind and I believed again in love. I
had my Lenora beside me and where, but a few hours before, I dwelt in the
shadow of a hangman’s noose, I was free now to gaze into her green-as-emerald
eyes and run my fingers through her long, red-gold hair.
Yet even as Sweet Lenora heeled
into the current, trouble had not departed us in its entirety. We left a dead
man in our wake. We sailed with but half a crew, a motley lot of rag-tag
ruffians assembled
from the few willing to sail on
with me.
Those among them I trusted could
be counted on a single hand. Rupert, my cook, was one. A New Orleans man I had
known since I was a child, he had served on the Carmen Anne, where I had
been first mate. Maurice, the
cabin boy, was another. He was but a child of ten, on his first voyage and the
son of a good friend to my mother. I promised her to keep him in my care. And
there was my heart, Lenora, to whom I entrusted my very life.
