Blackbeard Rising: The Saltblood Oath

Before he became Blackbeard, the sea chose him.

Edward Teach dreams of freedom beyond the crowded docks and merchant ships that have defined his life. But when a dying sailor whispers of an ancient power hidden beneath the waves, Edward finds himself drawn into a world of secrets, superstition, and forbidden magic.

Beneath the Caribbean lies the Breach, a fracture between worlds where forgotten forces stir in the darkness. Strange storms roll across the sea. The drowned whisper from below. Ancient relics rise from the depths. And something far older than piracy has begun to awaken.

Marked by powers he does not understand and hunted by those who would control them, Edward is thrust into a struggle that will shape the fate of the New World. As rival pirates, secret orders, and supernatural forces converge, he must decide what he is willing to sacrifice for freedom.

Because some legends are made by men.

Others are forged by the sea.

The Saltblood Oath is the first novel in the Blackbeard Rising trilogy, a dark nautical fantasy filled with adventure, ancient mythology, supernatural mystery, and the rise of one of history's most infamous legends.
