Author's Note

Captain Jacob Riley needs to get home, but the sea is a dangerous place. In a last ditch effort to make it, he buys a weapon. A weapon that is rumoured to be the deadliest on the high seas.

But this isn't a weapon of iron or wood. It's a weapon of magic, and one that is capable of ripping out the souls of those who fall under its spell. Only it's not the Captain's soul that he needs to worry about. Don't forget that a heart can be stolen too.
