From publisher blurb: One of the largest, oldest, and—until recently—most peaceful villages near the pirate town of Deksport, Revenge has grown from humble beginnings into a thriving inland farming community straddling both banks of the Buccaneer River. Founded over 20 years ago by the colourful pirate captain Tarvin Brineshadow and his shipmates, and named after their vessel, Revenge has prospered ever since. The surrounding land is fertile, if prone to occasional flooding, and few of the folk living there these days have ever served on a pirate ship. Life has been quiet and a little dull. That’s all changed in recent days, as an old enemy from Captain Brineshadow’s past has come to Revenge in search of bloody vengeance, and a sense of impending doom permeates the village.
