BLACKBEARD RISING

The sea gave Edward Teach freedom.

Now it demands far more.

The Breach is spreading.

Across the Caribbean, ships vanish without trace. Ancient relics surface from forgotten depths. Whispers of impossible powers travel from port to port, and every tide seems to carry a warning.

Edward Teach has become a captain, but freedom has brought new enemies. Rival pirates hunt him. Powerful forces move against him from the shadows. And the mysterious power that marks him is growing stronger with every voyage.

As war brews across the sea and old myths begin to awaken, Edward is drawn deeper into a conflict that stretches beyond kings, empires, and pirates. The Breach is changing the world, and those who seek to control it will stop at nothing to claim its power.

To survive, Edward must embrace the darkness rising around him.

But every bargain has a price.

And the sea always collects its debts.

Blood in the Water is the second novel in the Blackbeard Rising trilogy, a dark nautical fantasy filled with piracy, ancient mythology, supernatural mystery, and high-seas adventure.
