Brine & Bargains

A swashbuckling tale of secrets, deception, and loyalty on the high seas of San Paloma.

Aboard the pirate vessel The Black Gale, the crew navigates treacherous waters, rival ships, and the constant lure of hidden treasure. When the captain uncovers that one of the crew is a stowaway using a false identity, tension and mistrust ripple through the ship. As alliances are tested and secrets come to light, every choice carries risk. Between cunning strategy, maritime danger, and unexpected camaraderie, the crew must decide who can be trusted—and who is sailing toward betrayal.
