A storm-tossed sea hides its dangers well, until the horizon yields a dreaded silhouette. My crimson sail, a symbol of terror to every merchant fleet, cuts sharply against the grey, rolling water. Sailors on the trade ship ahead watch in horror as we close in, their evasive maneuvers too slow, too late. I stand on the forecastle—tall, with wild curls, my gaze as cold and pitiless as the deep. My lean frame holds a dangerous, coiled strength. I ignore the shouts of my crew, my focus fixed ahead on the next horizon, the next chase, blind to the fact that among these captives is someone who might melt this heart of ice.
