The gallows are empty. The first blood has been spilled. With fangs bared and crimson claws, Rolando Altamar begins his reign of terror. What starts as vengeance becomes carnage, as the undead pirate and his crew paint the streets of Costa Bravia in fire and blood. Militiamen fall. Bells ring in vain. And as the town burns, Rolando finds more than plunder—he finds power. A forgotten relic. A priest to hunt. And a thirst that will not be sated.

A storm has come to shore. And this is only the beginning.
