PROLOGUE
Richard Conner helped the first mate as their ship was bombarded by soldiers from the other ship The Dauntless.
Richard leapt into the fray, followed by his other crew members. He crept up to one man whose back was to him. He cut the man's throat before the man even had a change to turn around. Richard felt exhilarated as he parried with the enemies, the men in red coats and white breeches.
He killed a second solider and was about to advance onto another when he was given a painful blow to the head. The world spun dizzily around him as he dropped to the floor. A shadow fell across him as the pirate aimed his sword at his chest.
Richard squinted at the other man and was about to get up when the man sliced him through the arm. Richard yelled out with pain before he was stabbed in the stomach. Richard heard or felt nothing more.
Olivia's eyes never strayed from her book as someone knocked on her front door. She sighed and went to answer it.
There were two men in red jackets. Both had their hats in their hands and looked somber. They were men from Richard's regime. She recognized them both.
" Mr Gray…and Mr. Moore," she greeted them, " Would you like to come in?"
The two men exchanged glances, " We have some bad news I'm afraid Ms. Conner." One of them handed her a slip of paper.
She opened it and her face went ashen. " Richard…killed?"
" We are very sorry."
" Has my mother been informed?"
" Yes…she's on her way to the island. Your brother died doing his duty."
" Did he suffer?"
" We do not know. We weren't on the ship. But we do know he was killed by a pirate."
" A pirate?"
" Yes. A pirate named William Turner."
