My wave, my shark, my demon in the dark
The blue tide pulling me under
Or are you my soul, my heart, pull everything apart?

—Oh Wonder, Shark

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, there was a group of men called Sea Dogs, or more popularly known as Elizabethan Pirates, who were authorized by the Queen herself to attack Spanish ships in order to bring back riches and treasure to England.

Amongst the Sea Dogs were highly respected men; one of which went by the name of Sir Harry Styles.

This is a historical fanfiction, meaning that events within this book reflect those of history to a certain extent. Some names and descriptions are accurate, however most of them are purely from my imagination.

If you find any errors, do not hesitate to correct them in the comments! I am not a perfect writer, nor am I fully educated on all of the historical topics covered in this book. I try my best to do my research and portray things in a somewhat historically accurate way.

That being said, the dialogue and mannerisms will differ from history slightly, as I do not think that many people would be interested in reading Early Modern English.

Enjoy!
