At the close of The Golden Age of Piracy there were still some men who dared to live by pillaging and robbery. They danced along a razor's edge, with death always at their heels. Some found fortune, others, only a rope and a short drop. Captain William Deathrage found something else. From the time the pirate discovered a mysterious stowaway aboard his ship, Deathrage always seemed to sail into those dark, hidden places, where danger, ancient mysteries, and horrors unseen lay in wait. These are the tales of a pirate who found fortune and fame, along with creatures from the twilight world, demons from the deepest abyss, and practitioners of the blackest arts. In that age of enlightenment and reason, tall ships, firelocks, and swords carved a new world, while sorcery and dark powers still hid in the shadows. Captain William Deathrage, fights these powers, makes allies of some, and ultimately, embraces the darkness. Take a journey of adventure and horror, of brave battles, and terrible fates, of days long ago when flesh and steal, and sturdy ships conquered the waves.
