24. BLACK SAILS ON THE HORIZON - OLOFF THE PIRATE SERIES
The ominous sight of black sails against the African horizon heralds a storm brewing in the tranquil community of Moma. But what begins as a simple distraction for the locals soon unravels into a deadly invasion led by the ruthless pirate captain, Kromklou Moran. In the heart of this chaos stands Tier van Heerden, a seemingly ordinary miner concealing a dangerous secret. He’s a loyal agent of the legendary Oloff the Pirate, dispatched to uncover the truth behind a resurgence of privateering in the Indian Ocean.
Tier’s mission becomes a desperate race against time as Moma falls under the pirates’ brutal reign, a relentless storm of cannon fire and cutlass clashes. He must send a warning to Oloff before Kromklou can solidify his power and unleash further terror upon the seas. But in this treacherous game, where loyalty is a currency and betrayal lurks around every corner, trust is a luxury Tier can’t afford. Amidst the violence and treachery, Tier finds himself drawn into the turbulent lives of Kromklou’s children, the enigmatic Petro and the introspective Daan. Bound by blood but stifled by their father’s cruelty, they dream of escape, a future far removed from the barbarity of pirate life. Petro, a woman disguised as a warrior, hides a fierce spirit and yearns for a life beyond the horizon. Daan, a sensitive soul trapped in a world of steel, seeks solace in art and philosophy. As Tier navigates this tangled web of alliances and enmities, he discovers that their fates may be intertwined with his own.
But as Kromklou’s paranoia rises, a sinister plot begins to form, placing Tier, Petro, and Daan in a race against time and a shocking battle. Will Oloff arrive in time and who will survive? The fate of Moma hangs in the balance. But who, if anyone, will remain unbetrayed?
