The Pirate Captain, Chronicles of a Legend, "Nor Silver" is a historical action/adventure saga with a twisted love story and answers the question of what would one man do to "Keep his Treasure"!
Having lost hearth and heart to the Stuart Uprising, CATE MACKENZIE, a fugitive war criminal, purchases passage on a ship bound for the West Indies. En route she is kidnapped-a case of mistaken identity-by CAPTAIN NATHANAEL BLACKTHORNE, the pirate captain. Accustomed to blood, musket and cannon, life aboard the pirate ship isn't the hell Cate expects. She is instantly drawn into Nathan's bloody rivalry against LORD BREASTON CRESWICKE-the man who forced Nathan into piracy-and COMMODORE ROGER HARTE, Creswicke's puppet. They are an "unholy alliance" of ambition and power, Nathan a rat terrier on their heels. The impending arrival of Creswicke's fiance is too much temptation. This is a story of two scarred people, blinded by their defenses. It's the story of trust, or rather, the lack of. It's the story of a loss of faith and disbelief that Providence might ever smile again.
Soooooooooo good. I loved this book more than I ever thought I would. When I seen it was like Outlander with pirates I thought I had to give it a go but not in my wildest dreams did I think I would have been completely enraptured with the story as I was. This exciting historical adventure had me completely engrossed, I loved the characters and their background stories and even had a giggle or two with the pirate slang but I was also almost in tears especially in the last chapter. I would say this is one of my favourite books I have read this year and I think it's a story I will go back to again just to live in that little fantasy world with Nathan and Cate. Now on to Nor Gold because I can't bear to wait to see what the next adventure brings.
