★Selah Award Winner ★

In the year 1717, Ricky embarks on an unexpected journey aboard a ship captained by Stede Bonnet, a wealthy sugar plantation owner who decides to abandon his comfortable life to set sail as a pirate. As they chart a course toward the North American coast, Bonnet's crew runs afoul of the British Royal Navy and is put to the test when they encounter a heavily armed warship. Soon the crew is stealing, killing, and plundering their way toward the coast of the Carolinas. Only when Bonnet's crew falls under the command of Blackbeard do the men learn what it truly means to become a pirate.

Blackbeard's leadership brings about a profound transformation in the men, revealing the depths of their own wicked capabilities. Under his orders, Bonnet's crew navigates the treacherous waters of the Caribbean and North Atlantic coast, facing adversaries, mutinies, and prizes for the taking. Soon Bonnet's crew hones their skills and becomes a formidable crew of marauding, murdering pirates. The harsh realities of life at sea - of pillaging ships, and serving under the lash of the most black-hearted pirate who ever sailed - take its told on the men. . . and Ricky.

Based on the true events of Bonnet's adventures, Blackbeard the Pirate and Stede Bonnet's Fateful Clash blends adventure, humor, and historical accuracy into a lively pirate yarn for young and old.
