Swashbuckler Stories

Eloise DeBoise has been used to being overlooked. She was perfectly happy about that. After all, what more could a sickly, unaccomplished daughter of a minor country lord hope for? The overwhelming grandeur of Port Serynne is the least of her worries. Or it was. Well, until her friends sweep her into the city in time for a debut season. Staying in the city's heart and even joining them in the abolitionist society her friend Amelia founded. If only she knew a way to be of use to the cause. But Port Serynne is anything but simple. With secrets lurking around every corner. From the grim, soaked streets that go to the dark quarter. Up through the silken halls of the nobility's estates. The tension stretches over Eloise like a cloak, leaving her unsure how someone as simple as herself could ever do anything to help. In addition to all of this, Eloise finds herself caught between two dangerous men. - A lazy, ostentatious Lord, with the wit and vanity of a peacock. - And a former slave turned vigilante, who takes the fight to the slavers. Unfortunately, those two men are one and the same.

An adventure is an event or series of events that happens outside the course of the protagonist's ordinary life, usually accompanied by danger, often by physical action. Adventure stories almost always move quickly, and the pace of the plot is at least as important as characterization, setting, and other elements of creative work

This is sort of based on the game Pirate 101 since me and the girls (if you read my other stories about wizards) have gotten a bit tired of Wizard 101. And we made Pirates, so yeah. It will i guess follow the story line of pirate 101 but mostly depends on how me and the girls are feeling. Anyway this is the story of three unlikely coming together and have pirate adventures yada yada.
