There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane

Demons don't have time for love. What he's feeling might be Stockholm syndrome. Or maybe permanent brain damage. Maybe he's just stupid. Love was foreign to his lifestyle, after all, it was a wholly human concept. This story is set in a universe where certain people are born with the ability to shapeshift into monsters akin to westernized dragons. Most civilians are unaware of their existence or only know them as demons sent straight from hell. As civilization grew, it pushed in on the natural hunting grounds of these monsters, pushing them to fight, run, or starve.
