Rise of the Privateers

As the American colonies muster the courage to declare independence from England, the brothers, who travelled from London to Nassau last year, embark on new journeys. Politics, war, and piracy—sometimes in the form of legal privateering—push them together and pull them apart. Ainsworth collects valuable information and sells it on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He and Ayodele sail to Bermuda and then onto the London in the company of pirates. Blacktip strives to master the sugar markets by getting a seat on the exchange. Pierpont seeks revenge, but not all is as it seems. Mac embraces the Royal Navy and is loyal until the navy turns on him. When the colonies declare independence and the revolution begins, the brothers, sisters, and the colonies face an uncertain future. They must fight for their country, fight for their dreams, and fight just to survive. Chapter by chapter, these young men and women tell their adventures, each with his or her own voice. This is their story, Thirteen Brother Pirates: Rise of the Privateers.
