BLURB:

The year is 1716. The world is in the Golden Age of Piracy and fabled ships sail the seven seas. One such vessel is the Requiem, captained by the young but wise, brave but dubious Nabopolassar “Bo” Travis. Alongside his first mate Ghassan, quartermaster Winter Burke and navigator Glover, Travis seeks treasure, female company and good drink. The Requiem’s legendary adventures are filled with tales of monsters and myths - all of which are true. Now, someone or something is sailing the seas in search for a treasure chest – a chest that holds unknown riches which only promise to change the world forever. Captain Travis, his crew and a beautiful young map reader must brave the dark and the deep to find the treasure. Will the Requiem find the X on the spot before the infamous Captain George “Bloody-Face” Fiddick does? Will Travis uncover the secret behind the cursed black ship which changed his young life forever? And will the treasure chest truly be full of riches or does something far more insidious lie in wait? Ready your flintlock. Sharpen your sword. The Requiem awaits.

EXCERPT

When captains and crews saw the Crimson Lady with Bloody-Face Fiddick at the

helm, it was fear that ran in their veins.  

Bloody Face had become a larger than life villain, a monster on the open seas.  

George Fiddick was a businessman – now tired and unable to out sail time.

"Captain Fiddick, sir, the ship is ready.  Repairs are complete and supplies are---"  The voice

turned Bloody Face around towards the few beams of natural light entering the cavern.  It

belonged to a giant of a man.  Fiddick was big and strong, yes, but this man was young and

cut with muscles atop muscles.  He was bald, possibly hairless from crown to foot and the

sea and sun had tanned his skin for good.  Scars told stories and many of them had this

goliath as the victor.

"Mr. Cragg," the captain answered in response to the man's sudden silence, "What is it?"

The big man stretched out his hand and pointed.  In the captain's room, was a massive

wooden desk.  Hand carved and ornate in its curves and lattice work down its sides.  On the

desk was a half skull with a large dagger driven through its top.  There was no bottom jaw. 

A blade plunged directly into the skull.  The handle was curved and covered in unknown

shapes and carvings.   

Eye sockets which were normally black now flickered with unearthly light.

Fiddick nodded to his second-in-command.  "Thank you for the update, Mr. Cragg.  That

will be all."

Cragg bowed slightly and vacated the chamber.

My Review

Of a Great Deep is the first introduction to the Windsong & Requiem series by 
Chad Hunter. I enjoyed this 1716 era novel. I found it to be full of adventure, action, mystery and suspense. Captain Travis is a fun character. I was captivated with the story that, also, includes legends, myths and monsters. 

What a wonderful magical tale! I give Of a Great Deep (Windsong & Requiem #1) four and a half stars. Most definitely worth a read and I recommend it. 


I received this book from the author. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
