A Barrel of Flesh and a Bottle of Blood by Lance Loot - MAY 14th

The year is 1718, the Golden Age of Piracy. Dark times have befallen the West Indies — alongside the usual pilfered commodities of booze, spices, and furs, there is one oft not mentioned in civil conversation: humans. And at the forefront of this vile people pillaging business, two wicked and amorphous cads tower over the competition: Captain Bloodybeard and Blackburn Boonie, each hellbent on ousting the other by any means necessary.

When Eli Winthrop, a young man seeking retribution against Boonie for murdering his father, and a spunky stowaway named Anya unwittingly find themselves ensnared within the pirate rivalry, it’s carnage on the high seas! Barrels of blood are overturned as all strive to achieve their deepest ambitions… but who will ultimately survive?
