The Cold Heart

“KNEEL!” The word echoed through the room, and around her, the captains and quartermasters dropped to their knees like felled trees. It wasn’t in her nature to obey. She was a necromancer. She was a pirate. She was a captain. Only the dead and the sea held any claim on her soul. The self-proclaimed pirate king humiliated her and burdened her with a quest to increase his power, but the She-Wolf has plans of her own. No one will rule over her, or her crew. And she knew the moment he broke her enough to agree to the search, that whatever boon lies in the hidden treasure trove, she means to keep for herself. Come Hell or High Seas, Elisabeth Wolf, Captain of the Silence will never kneel again. Can she find the mysterious object the Skeleton King seeks? Or will her hunger for power consume her and her crew drawing them all down into the deep?
