16. OLOFF THE PIRATE SERIES - GHOST SHIP OF BISCAY
In the gilded courts of post-coronation France, where lavish balls mask simmering political intrigue, a storm is brewing that threatens to engulf the young King Etienne and plunge the nation into war. Count De Mentz, the Minister of the Crown, a man steeped in ambition and veiled agendas, sees an opportunity to seize power and monopolize the lucrative spice trade by igniting conflict with Holland.
But their intricate plot hinges on a single, perilous maneuver, to frame Captain Oloff van Wagenaar, a daring Dutch captain and a friend of the King. By manipulating events and wielding a cleverly forged letter, they aim to paint Oloff as a rogue aggressor, triggering a devastating conflict. Torn between his loyalty to France, where his beloved Rynette du Bois awaits their wedding, and his duty to his homeland, Oloff finds himself a pawn in a deadly game. With the help of unexpected allies, including the charming Prince Bernhardt of Waiheren, a man with his own heart’s desires pulling him towards the French court, Oloff embarks on a desperate quest to expose the true puppeteers behind the looming war.
But just as they believe they are close to victory, a series of bizarre events throws everything into question. A fortune vanishes, and tales of a ghostly ship, the very one Oloff supposedly perished on, begin to haunt the coast of France. Is it a supernatural omen, or a carefully orchestrated deception to conceal a darker truth? With time running out and the fate of two nations hanging in the balance, Oloff and his friends find themselves facing a ruthless enemy, where the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. Can Oloff expose the conspiracy before France and Holland are locked in a war fueled by lies and bloodlust? And can he protect the woman he loves from a plot of a heartless cabal determined to control it all?
