Dead-or-Alive

Murderous pirates, battleships galore, and too much treasure for one man to hold. What else could anyone ask for?

Captain Nathaniel Thatcher sails alongside his scurvy crew raiding merchant ships, hunting booty, and most importantly scouring ports for rum. With his right-hand, Matthias Clarke, keeping his recklessness at a minimum, the Captain became the envy of the five seas. Whether it was his power, money, liquor, or constant 'companionship' that drew people towards him, they all had one thing in common. They wanted him. Dead-or-Alive.

Sybil Collier was no exception. On the eve of her father's disappearance, she knew something was awry. Her mother had pushed her to set her worries aside, because there had not been an accident in the mines for over a decade, but when rumors of pirates raiding a mine on the coast for treasure flooded the village, Sybil's heart sunk. Her father had vanished without a trace, while the other miners remained behind and not a single lick of treasure went missing.

Now on the prowl for any clues, Sybil knows her only chance of finding her father is with Captain Thatcher's help. Not that he is at all willing or interested in helping a miner's daughter.
