Steam exploded upward in roaring white columns where the fresh river of lava met the sea, turning the water into a boiling cauldron. The air shimmered with heat, and ash fell so thick it coated the deck in seconds. \u201cHarder to starboard!\u201d Striker bellowed, muscles bulging as he fought the wheel. \u201cShe\u2019s fighting us!\u201d Blackheart stood beside him, one hand gripping the binnacle, the other signing rapidly. Her hoarse voice cut through the roar: \u201cBrace\u2026<\/p>\n

every line!\u201d \u201cCaptain says brace every line!\u201d Striker relayed. \u201cKofi, Lila\u2014get those braces hauled! Rodrigo, man the pumps! We can\u2019t take another hit like that!\u201d Kofi lunged for the starboard braces, his powerful arms hauling with everything he had. \u201cShe\u2019s sluggish! That hull patch is holding, but the rudder feels heavy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lila scrambled across the tilting deck, bare feet sliding on ash-slick planks. \u201cI\u2019m on it! Tomas, help me with this sheet\u2014pull, lad, pull like your life depends on it!\u201d \u201cI am!\u201d Tomas cried, small hands raw as he threw his weight against the rope. \u201cIt\u2019s burning my fingers! The air\u2019s too hot!\u201d Mara moved between them, tying a wet cloth over her mouth and nose. \u201cBreathe through this! The steam will scald your lungs if you\u2019re not careful. Rodrigo, keep those pumps going or we\u2019ll founder before the lava even reaches us!\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodrigo worked the pump handles like a man possessed, sweat pouring down his face. \u201cI\u2019m pumping as fast as I can! Water\u2019s coming in faster than I can push it out. Captain, we\u2019re listing worse!\u201d Blackheart gestured sharply, pointing toward a narrow gap between two towering steam geysers. The glowing pearl in her other hand pulsed brighter, as if urging them toward that slender corridor of cooler water.<\/p>\n

Striker nodded. \u201cShe says steer for the gap between the geysers! It\u2019s our only clear path. The pearl is guiding us!\u201d Kofi glanced at the approaching wall of lava. \u201cThat gap\u2019s closing fast! If we miss it, we\u2019re cooked\u2014literally!\u201d \u201cThen we don\u2019t miss it!\u201d Lila shouted, securing another line. \u201cCome on, Vengeance, you stubborn girl\u2014turn for us!\u201d The ship responded sluggishly.<\/p>\n

The rudder bit into the churning sea, and slowly, painfully, the bow began to swing. A massive wave of superheated water crashed over the starboard rail, hissing where it touched wood. Steam rose in painful clouds. Tomas yelped as droplets hit his arm. \u201cIt burns! It burns like fire!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mara was there instantly, pouring cool water from a bucket over the boy\u2019s skin. \u201cHold on, child. We\u2019re almost through. Breathe slow.\u201d Blackheart moved to the rail, leaning out into the blistering heat. Ash stuck to her sweat-slicked face. She signed without looking back. Striker\u2019s voice strained as he fought the wheel. \u201cCaptain says more speed! We need the sails trimmed tighter\u2014Lila!\u201d<\/p>\n

Written by Hazel Rivers To those who chose the family built in the storm, not the one inherited through blood. To Jax, in all his forms\u2014the one who stayed, the one who left, the one who gave everything for a soundless gesture. And to you, reader, who listens when someone cannot speak.<\/p>\n

This book is yours. May the sea be kind to you\u2026 or at least, let you scream. \u2014Hazel Rivers 1kitap1.com\/en S CHAPTER ONE 1710 omewhere in the Atlantic\u2026 A fierce battle between a pirate sloop and a naval flagship was taking place. The sound of the cannons, the guns, and clashing swords was defining.<\/p>\n

By a strike of luck, the pirates dominated the marines and killed them all before they could surrender. The pirates abandoned the ship and stole the flagship. They quickly repaired the ship and were so busy that they didn’t notice the stowaway who was hiding below deck. The pirates salvaged everything they could from the sloop, and soon they sailed away.<\/p>\n

Captain Teach gave the order to prepare the ship for the storm that was brewing in the horizon and went to his cabin. Some hours later, captain Teach was at his cabin, rushing waves hitting the glass panels in his cabin, thunder, breaking the muffled sound of the rain. A crew member breaks into his cabin: “Captain!<\/p>\n

We see land!” The pirate said. Teach opened his eyes wide, a faint smirk on his face. “We have found it!” Teach came out of his cabin and looked through the looking glass. “Don’t go closer to the island, I don’t want to beach the ship!” He orders and the crew follows.<\/p>\n

After some hours weathering the storm, the seas finally calmed. They sailed towards the island, lowered anker and a row boat that was in stow. The vice captain stayed at the ship while Teach and some crew members rowed to the island. They made it to the beach and looked at the forest ahead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
