The Crimson Tide

The Crimson Tide - A Novel by Julian Thorne

In the lawless waters of the 17th-century Caribbean, Captain Silas Drake-a privateer haunted by his past-is given a mission that could change the fate of nations: retrieve a stolen artifact of immense power, known only as the Crimson Tide.

To succeed, he must assemble a crew as daring as the task itself: Jonah Quinn, a cunning navigator with secrets of his own; Isla Moreno, a swordswoman as deadly as she is beautiful; and Matthias Graves, a rogue alchemist who knows more about the supernatural than he lets on. Together, they set sail into a world of treacherous alliances, pirate-infested islands, and deadly betrayals, pursued by the relentless Brotherhood of Saint Adrian-a fanatical order sworn to keep the Crimson Tide's secrets buried forever.

As Silas follows the trail of the lost artifact, he finds himself caught between colonial powers, hunted by mercenaries, and drawn deeper into the artifact's dark mystery. But when the line between treasure and curse begins to blur, he must face the ultimate question: Is power worth the price of one's soul?

A swashbuckling tale of adventure, danger, and redemption, The Crimson Tide is perfect for fans of pirate lore, supernatural legends, and high-seas intrigue. Set against the backdrop of stormy seas and bloodstained sands, this novel delivers a thrilling journey into a world where fortune favors the bold-and the damned.

Will Captain Drake seize his destiny, or will the Crimson Tide claim him like all who came before?
