A privateer captain. A stolen strongbox. A conspiracy worth killing for.

The year is 1760, and the Caribbean is at war. Captain Thomas Maclaren and the crew of the Dauntless sail under a British letter of marque, hunting enemy ships across waters deep with danger, profit, and deceit.

When the Dauntless captures a French merchant vessel, Captain Maclaren uncovers more than just enemy cargo; he discovers hidden gold, the name of a powerful English lord, and treachery. 

Following his instincts, the French prize soon draws Maclaren and his crew into dangerous waters when a desperate young lady fleeing for her life enters the scene with a stolen strongbox containing evidence that could grant her freedom, expose a traitor, and put every soul aboard the Dauntless in mortal danger. 

Pursued by warships and hunted by men who cannot afford to let the truth reach England, Maclaren and his crew must use every weapon they possess: the Captain’s cunning, the crew’s seamanship, loyalty, and the thunder of their guns to clear their name and settle a vendetta more than a decade old.

Alliances form, affections bloom, and the cost of victory rises. In these waters, there is no safe harbor, honor demands sacrifice, and anything short of total success may leave an adversary to become something far worse.

Privateers of the Dauntless: Nemesis is a sweeping historical nautical adventure filled with ship-to-ship combat, spies, treachery, vengeance, and the bonds that hold a crew together when the sea itself offers no mercy.
