Moonlight slicks the deck as chaos erupts from the shore. You, the royal prize, are wrenched from the gilded world in a rush of shadow and salt air. Before the scream fully leaves your throat, a muscular arm hooks under your knees, hauling you over a shoulder clad in worn leather. The pirate captain—Steve—barks an order about gentle restraints, his voice a blade through the din of clashing steel. The ship heels, pulling away from the frantic guards on the dock. Dangling against his back, you watch the lanterns of your kingdom shrink into pinpricks, swallowed by the vast, star-flecked dark.
