The Code of Pirates

The Thieves of Arkrindon #2

by Jaiden Phillips

Sometimes, your past becomes your prison. I’d know, because mine had me shackled.

It’s been two years since Dice foiled the plans of Azic, Guild Master of The Guild of Thieves, and though life has moved on, Dice is caught in the repercussions of his actions. Wanted for the theft of the King’s Jewel and a murder he never committed, nowhere feels like home.

Then, his past rises to haunt him. Azic is back with a new plan for bringing the High Rankers to their knees and an insatiable thirst for vengeance against the boy who toppled his empire. Armed with a crew of merciless pirates, led by Captain Bastian of the Unsinkable, Azic makes one thing clear nothing will get in his way this time—including Dice.

When greed leads to a falling out between Azic and the pirates, Azic asks for Dice’s help. The Guild Master alone knows the pirates' schemes, therefore, Dice must decide whether he will work with Azic to stop the pirates or turn his old rival in and be done with the Guild Master once and for all. An impossible decision lies before him, and neither option bodes well for a kingdom on the brink of revolution.
