Fáelán Ó Faolain

2
"You're a pirate."
"Depends who's in charge of the island."
May, 1716.
Irish privateer Fáelán Ó Faoláin has survived storms, naval battles, and the shifting loyalties of kings. Calm, observant, and quietly confident, he trusts evidence more than rumor, competence more than reputation, and earned loyalty more than law.
Then he discovers an island that refuses to obey reason.
The fort should still be standing.
Its newest repair marker is dated April 1716.
It is only May.
Fáelán has spent his life navigating the unknown.
For the first time...
He has found something that cannot be charted.
