Off the West coast of Africa, at the bottom of the Atlantic trench forest, where damselfly dragons chase after beetles, and bioluminescent plants are harvested for sale, Nuru Ndangi is busy collecting rich soil in a jar--excited to offer it as a gift to his best friend. Tomorrow he will make the trek from his village to the continental elevators that will lift him above the forest, to the city of Conakry. Meanwhile, far above the Earth's surface, in a castle carved out of a mountain of marble, a small plant-girl named Maypop is being scolded for breaking some very expensive scientific equipment and accidentally tripping a scientist with her vines, which seem to be growing out of control. And lurking in between these two best friends, drifting idley in the sky-water and waiting rather impatiently for the right ship to come, are the privateers hired to destroy Nuru's family business.…
Easternport used to be a major trading hub for the whole continent. It wasn't a giant city, but it was a prosperous city. But in such a short time, sectarian violence and gang wars turned the city upside-down. Now the gangsters, or the "society members" as they want to be called, are in charge. And all eyes are turned to watch four foolish teenagers challenge the whole city for the right to do whatever the hell they want. I don't think anyone knows what it is that they want. But Steven seems to think that they will give us back our dignity or something. --Chief Officer Howell, Easternport Police Note to self: Request Chief Howell to write another draft. This one is no good. --Steven Buccanan Cover Art brought to you by @TessRebellious @TessRebellious Doing all my visual media because she's lovely and I'm poor and broken and pitiful.…

I don't remember what sunk us; I think it was a storm. I don't remember my name, or where I came from, or where I was going, or what I was doing. And nobody knows that I exist. Not even the others who sank with our ship. But I remember her red dress and my attachment to her... or... some kind of attachment to her. Or a longing for her. I don't know how to describe it. But let me try to explain.Cover by @-psychoo…

There are two kinds of idiots in this world, the mildly ignorant and the mindbogglingly, incurably stupid. Pirate Henry Morgan is surrounded by the latter, with the added bonus that they might try to kill him in his sleep. Unless he kills them first that is.
