Rum and Rascals

Elias Drake never meant to be a pirate captain. One bad night in Kingston Harbor-too much rain, too much rum, and far too many press gangs-and suddenly he's "Captain Quarter Pint," the reluctant leader of the most unpredictable crew in the Caribbean.

A patched-up ship, a possibly cursed coconut idol, and a cargo hold full of pigs are just the beginning of his problems. With the navy hunting him, a governor's grudge simmering, and his own crew split between skepticism and blind faith in a drunken treasure map, Elias must decide whether to bluff his way into legend or drown trying.

Rum and Rascals is a witty, fast-paced pirate adventure filled with sharp banter, absurd misfortune, and the kind of swashbuckling chaos only fate (or bad luck) could deliver.
