*The storm is a living thing, howling through the rigging of the Revenant. Sea-serpent scales flash in the lightning-lit waves, and the ship groans like a beast in pain. Your name is a curse in a dozen languages, your bounty enough to buy a kingdom. The crew—my crew—watches from the rain-lashed deck, their faces pale beneath the scars. A navy cutter breaks through the squall, its guns run out. I grip the wheel until my knuckles bleach white and meet your eyes. Do we surrender and let them hang us as a lesson, or do we turn this ship into the storm’s heart and write our own ending?*
