The Spy - A Cape pirate adventure Book 9

Gerrie Radlof

Sinopsis

A notorious pirate.

A relentless admiral.

A spy whose betrayal could sink them all.

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 waters of the 18th-century Indian Ocean, fear has a name, Captain Oloff. Ruthless, cunning, and untouchable, he is the phantom menace haunting the French Empire’s trade routes. But Admiral Pierre de la Fonte has sworn vengeance, and he will stop at nothing to see the infamous sea pirate hang.

To bring Oloff down, the French crown deploys their most dangerous weapon. Rene le Dour, a swordsman and master spy, tasked with infiltrating Oloff’s pirate stronghold in Madagascar. Yet loyalty proves slippery on lawless shores. As Rene is seduced by plunder and power, his allegiance shifts, and his ambition could shatter the admiral’s mission from within.

Meanwhile, Oloff fights a war of his own, to protect Rynette du Bois, the woman he loves, from falling into de la Fonte’s grasp. But when he hides her in Angola, Oloff unwittingly sails her straight into the path of a devastating pirate fleet attack, an assault he is accused of leading.

Now, with a traitor in his ranks, a vengeful admiral at his heels, and an innocent city on the brink of ruin, Oloff must outwit them all in a deadly game of espionage, loyalty, and survival. One wrong move, and everything he secretly fights for will be lost forever.

The Spy is a gripping blend of pirate adventure, historical suspense, and high-seas action, perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, nautical historical fiction, and swashbuckling heroes with dark secrets.

Set sail on danger, betrayal, and unforgettable adventure in the ninth book of the Oloff the Sea Pirate series. Discover the legend today.

The Trials of Mary Johnsdaughter

Christine De Luca

A cold sweat had spread over Mary as she listened. What she was hearing was sounding ever more like a premonition: adultery was nearly as bad as murder.
Shetland, 1773: a land of hand-to-mouth living and tight community ties overshadowed by the ever-watchful eye of the kirk, an institution 'run by auld men, for auld men'. In this fictionalised retelling of historical events, young Waas lass Mary Johnsdaughter stands accused of having sinned in the eyes of the church after the Batchelor, a ship bursting with emigrants seeking new lives in North Carolina, is left stranded upon Shetland's shores.
Will she survive the humiliation? Will she become an outcast? Will one moment cost her everything?
A tale of Shetland folk knit out of Shetlandic voices and real parish records, The Trials of Mary Johnsdaughter pits the bonds of friends and family against the grip of the kirk. Only one thing is clear: then as now, 'Hit's no aesy livin in a peerie place.'
