    Summary

    He is prepared.

    The fields are full of men, not one of them familiar. He can’t be bothered asking where they’re taking him. To the barracks, perhaps, or maybe they expect him to start working right away. He’s a slave now, after all, no matter how kindly Silver thinks these men will treat him. Once it might have bothered him - to die as someone’s property. It would have bothered Madi. Or Vane. Or even Rackham. But he is not them. And he is not James McGraw, the man that Thomas Hamilton once loved. He is Flint, he is a monster, the devil of the sea and he is staring…staring at a man with golden hair…

    There are some things the heart cannot prepare for.

    Summary

    “Oh,” is what Miranda says when the crackling brown paper finally falls away, her exclamation quiet and stunned though she surely must have guessed what it was by shape and feel before then. Her bared hands shake with astonishment as she caresses the revealed book, reverently tracing its plain cover and cracked spine and its frayed-edged, well-thumbed pages. She laughs at the title proclaiming itself Paradise Lost in worn lettering, the impressions still stamped deeply enough to be read clearly despite being rubbed dull, the gold leaf long since gone. “Really, James?” she asks, assuming irony he did not intend, but thankfully she remains no more than mirthfully enraptured.
