Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There were sodomites in the navy who could be persuaded to join him for no price other than the promise of his predatory grin. He liked them the most because they had the most to lose if even a whisper of what he planned on doing to them got out. #2 Carl was a creature of opportunity. He spent his life avoiding attention, hunching his shoulders to look smaller, and keeping a blank expression on his face when people insulted him. He knew the secret behind the world's veil: he didn't want to draw attention to himself. #3 Carl hired the arrogant boy to sail for him the next day. He was a real sailor, but his friends were not. They would embarrass him in front of his fancy friends. #4 Carl took pleasure in blinding the boy with the flare of a readily offered match. He guided the boy carefully along the cobbles, steering him away from any prying eyes or distractions. The Akista would set sail as Carl had said in the bar. There was no lie in that.
