Grayson Reed, Privateer and infamous ne-er do well, famed... or perhaps more infamous, for both his daring exploits and embarrassing personal scandals, is a wolf known in nearly every port in the known world. For better or for worse. But that certainly wasn't always the case. The disinherited scion of a trade cartel, born to ill-gotten wealth and privilege, he turned against the very merchants he was born to. His knowledge of the wealthy society he now plunders generally serves him well. But now, fearing the very real threat of an equally infamous, and equally scandalous pirate hunter known for his ferocity and sharp mind, Grayson finds his usual tactics may not avail him. This is not a man he can predict. So perhaps, an alliance is in order. An unusual pact is struck. Misadventure is sure to follow.
