Sinopse

To destroy the pirates who murdered his father, he became the most dreaded captain of them all. 
 
Now, a new evil sails into his waters, seeking an empire built on blood.
 
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.
 
In the treacherous pirate havens of the 18th-century Indian Ocean, Captain Oloff van Wagenaar lives a dangerous lie. To the world, he is Oloff the Pirate, a feared marauder whose name strikes terror across the seas. In truth, he is a Dutch captain in deep cover, dismantling the very brotherhood that destroyed his family.
 
But Oloff’s mission of vengeance is thrown into chaos when the monstrous Komorin of the Caribbean arrives. Ruthless and sadistic, Komorin seeks to forge a pirate empire through an alliance of betrayal and political intrigue, threatening to plunge kingdoms into war.
 
Drawn into this deadly conspiracy, Oloff is forced into a partnership with the man he despises most. His only hope is Ninette Dupleix, a defiant prisoner whose spirit shines even under Komorin’s cruelty. Yet saving her could cost Oloff everything. His mission, his identity, and his life.
 
To bring down a monster, Oloff must risk becoming one himself.
 
Filled with swashbuckling battles, dangerous deception, and relentless intrigue, this high-seas adventure is perfect for fans of Rafael Sabatini’s Captain Blood, the political drama of The Three Musketeers, and the gripping naval action of Black Sails.
 
Book six of the Oloff the Sea Pirate saga set sail into betrayal, vengeance, and epic adventure today!

Miss Anne de Bourgh is the son her father always wanted, except for one rather large detail. Still, her being a girl doesn't stop her from hunting, shooting, riding, and fencing as well as her cousins, and when her older cousin Henry wrongs her, Anne ropes Darcy and Richard into a scheme to exact revenge. But Anne is about to learn that even her father, who has always encouraged her in all her pursuits, thinks she's gone too far this time, and his punishment will be dire indeed. 
That's right, it's time for Anne to meet her greatest adversary . . . Mrs. Jenkinson.

    "The Moon and Sixpence" by W. Somerset Maugham is a riveting exploration of artistic passion and unconventional life. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, the novel follows Charles Strickland, who abandons convention to pursue art. Maugham delves into the clash between societal norms and individual freedom, portraying Strickland's tumultuous journey through Europe and Tahiti. With vivid prose and profound insights, the story navigates themes of creativity, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of one's true calling. Strickland's unconventional choices provoke reflection on the nature of art and the price one pays for breaking free from societal expectations.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this volume we explore and enjoy the stories of authors who attended one of the great seats of learning.  Amongst their storied number are Anthony Trollope, Radclyffe Hall, Lewis Carroll and a host of others.
