The Ashen Wolf: Pirate of the Mediterranean: A Medieval Sea Adventure of Betrayal, Treasure, and Redemption (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278577003)

Full Version (for main listing):
In the brutal waters of the medieval Mediterranean, the sea does not belong to kings-it belongs to those ruthless enough to claim it.

Adrian Valerio, known as The Ashen Wolf, is a feared pirate captain haunted by bloodshed and bound by a past he cannot outrun. When a legendary church vault is plundered and forbidden manuscripts resurface-texts said to conceal a power buried beneath the sea-Adrian is pulled back into a war he swore never to fight again.

His enemy is Lucien Dravek, the Sun-Eater-former brother-in-arms, now a sea tyrant who believes the world must be ruled through fear, fire, and divine certainty. Between them lies the Mediterranean itself: a living battlefield of storm-torn fleets, silent islands, ancient relics, and a secret known as The Silence Below.

As ports burn and banners rise, Adrian must choose between gold and conscience, conquest and restraint. The deeper he sails, the higher the cost-until victory itself demands a sacrifice the sea will never forget.

This is not a story of heroes crowned by glory. It is a saga of men tested by power, redemption earned through loss, and a sea that judges all without mercy.

Short Version (for A+ Content / teaser):
In the medieval Mediterranean, the sea answers only to the ruthless.
Adrian Valerio, the Ashen Wolf, faces the deadly Sun-Eater and a secret buried deep beneath the waves: The Silence Below.
Storms, treasure, betrayal, and the ultimate choice between power and conscience await.
