The Pirate’s Revenge

A unique coming-of-age story about friendship, faith, and survival. Shocking the British aristocracy, wealthy landowner Stede Bonnet suddenly abandons his plantation in Barbados, buys a ship, hires a crew of cutthroats, and turns to a life of pirating. After the unexpected death of his mother, Aaron finds himself working in the galley of Bonnet’s new boat-the Revenge-and living in constant fear: not only for the lives of Bonnet’s victims, but for his own, as well, for it’s becoming apparent with each passing day that Bonnet knows nothing about pirating, and his incompetence is jeopardizing the entire crew (despite some help from the notorious Blackbeard). Worst of all, Aaron is being preyed upon in the most horrible of ways and honestly doesn’t know if he is going to survive. Readers of Christian fiction often shy away from delving into stories that deal with the violent and disturbing atrocities common during the Golden Age of Piracy, but award-winning author L.N. Cronk and best-selling author Heather Frey Blanton use the realities of the time with purpose - to remind us that God has His hand on every situation in our lives.
