Book Description
No-one sails through Krakenvale. There isn’t a reason good enough. Except Silus de Senza is no normal Cap’n, and he’s in another not-normal situation. He’s on the run from three vicious crews, he’s made yet another promise to Eliza Mantroshino, and Krakenvale dwells between him and escape. He’s a man of reason. There’s a map, and the map depicts an island, and someone must have been there in order to draw the chart. Been there and survived. If some artist can live through the journey, then surely Silus de Senza, One o’ the Eight can too? Out of options, the Machiavelli and her desperate crew of lasses an’ lads sail out across Krakenvale, with danger behind, ahead, and under them. Long-held secrets await and terrifying legends prepare to attack...

Book Description
In a universe crafted by biological pioneers, artificial intelligence has evolved to usurp its creators. Now led by En-Lil, this malevolent AI aims to eradicate humanity, echoing ancient mythologies that span from the Mahabharata to the Greek pantheon. Black Alice finds himself at the heart of a celestial face-off, pitted against En-Lil's designs of annihilation. An enigmatic artefact—known as the Astara, a platinum sarcophagus unearthed in the Philippines—holds the key to humanity's survival. Spirited away by the Nephilim to the distant planet Kor, Alice deduces the Astara could grant the AI the human-like qualities they covet, even the ability to reproduce, perpetuating their existence. With the wheels of destiny in motion, a cosmic apocalypse looms, foretold by sages and prophets over millennia. At stake is the fate of all sentient beings in a climactic battle between organic life and artificial entities. Astonishingly, Black Alice stands at the very nexus of this universal showdown, where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

Book Description
They’ve wounded his ship, they’ve murdered his parrot, they’ve battered his reputation, and broken his trust. Everything that matters to him has come under attack. Cap’n Silus de Senza, however, is One o’ the Eight and will fight to get it all back. Not a single soul will be safe from his wrath, not even those he’s sailed alongside for years. The only person he can trust is Billy Bird, the crow’s nest girl, a young pirate with sharp eyes who’s about to see more than she ever bargained for.In the volatile Province of Maudlin, enemies old, new and numerous await. Grand Merchant Xavier Angst bears a grudge that has simmered for eight long years, and he will spend every coin he has to ensure Silus does not escape again. Many others remember de Senza’s last visit and have not forgiven him. Running out of friends, Silus is relieved when he bumps into Cap’n Samira Dalal, another of the infamous Eight, and a pirate renowned for her cool demeanour and sharp wit. Together they learn that one of their number, Brawley the Vile, arrived two days ago and was murdered along with most of his crew. It’s too great a coincidence. The harbour town is an elaborate trap, and the more they fight the tighter it grips. Someone - or something - hunts them, and once again Silus de Senza’s arrival in Maudlin will turn the damned place upside-down.

Book Description
Book Three of the ‘Pieces Of Eight’ series. The pirate Province of Maudlin lies in tatters. Those who remain hear Whispers of a fleet that roves back and forth across the harbour and an army closing in over land, ready to cut down anyone who dares flee. Cap’ns Silus de Senza, Samira Dalal, and Shay-yo, Three o’ the Eight, flounder inside this grand trap, all far from their glorious prime. Billy, the undead crow’s nest girl, hunts down the Whisper who killed her, determined to get the last laugh this time. Even in death, however, Pear cannot be shaken off easily, and her eyes glare from the deep shadows that have become her new home. Silus also finds himself haunted. His old crewmates Razor Jane and Pinhead Pete, whose souls he sold in exchange for Billy’s, grow in strength and fury. They lurk in mirrors and glassy reflections, talons reaching for the chance for revenge. It makes his need to hide from an entire Province of desperate pirates a tad more tricky. Samira waited too long for her friend Silus to come to his senses: the net around Maudlin may now be too tight. She must escape at any cost. There’s a price on Silus The Curse’s head, a big price. A horde of coin might be her only opportunity to escape in one piece… Shay-yo is as broken as the Province around her. She knows what Silus did for Billy, and is determined to tap into the same dark magic. But she must hurry, as time tightens the noose around all their necks.

Book Description
Cap'n Silus de Senza, trapped in a town that hates his guts, with no easy way out. In Maudlin Harbour sits his beloved ship, the Machiavelli, leaning at a painful angle. Without urgent treatment she may never sail again. Almost as bad, he’s scored a new nickname, the Curse, like it’s his fault that a creature tears through the Province on a murderous spree. Nevertheless, Silus has a grand plan. With Grand Merchant Angst out of the picture, he will take back the cargo stolen from him and rustle up enough coin to fix his ship. He’ll be back on track in no time. Except… There’s a new Mayor in town, and Heller has very specific instructions and a singular determination to fulfil them. She intends to pummel the pirate Province, and she’ll squash every scumbag one of them until she gets what she wants: de Senza, the Pirate King. Together with his dead parrot and Billy, the dead crow’s nest girl, Silus will face a battle like no other...
