Episode 4: Blood and Bones
A storm brews over Sainte Anne — in the sky, and beneath the surface.
Captain Rhys finds himself haunted by more than memories as a mysterious figure brings forgotten truths to light. But as old debts resurface and new dangers close in, trust grows thin, and every choice cuts deeper.
Lines are drawn. Blood is spilled. And the cost of answers may be higher than ever.

Episode 3 – "Ash and Ink"
Stranded in Sainte Anne, Captain Rhys Davies seeks quiet repairs and temporary refuge—but the island remembers blood, and it doesn't forget easily. As whispers of his past surface in the rum-soaked shadows, a sealed parchment begins to unravel its secrets. With every riddle uncovered, Rhys edges closer to something much older, and far more dangerous—than any pirate legend.
By firelight and storm, a stranger steps from the dark… and everything Rhys thought he knew begins to shift.

Episode 2: “Blood and Beggars”
Still nursing wounds and hunted by questions, the Ghost Maiden limps into Tenina Town—a neutral port in name only, where silence costs silver and every kindness hides a knife. While repairs begin under watchful eyes and borrowed hands, Captain Rajiv Rhys Davies finds his past clawing back through salt and shadow. An old name resurfaces, tied to a page sealed in wax and soaked in blood. But some truths come dressed as thieves.
In the crooked alleys and flickering tavern lights, the price of memory becomes clear: every secret stirs the sea, and not all ghosts stay buried. When a stranger’s fingers reach into Rhys’s pocket, they pull more than coin—they draw blood, and set the course for something far darker than betrayal. Because in Tenina, nothing is free. Not trust. Not time. And certainly not the truth.

Episode One: "Ash and Salt"
In the pilot episode of Pieces of Eight: A Skull & Bones Story, a pirate legend begins not with glory—but with fire, hunger, and blood. Captain Rajiv Rhys Davies, born of a British officer and a Punjabi rebel, recounts the brutal path that forged him: from the ashes of a colonial massacre to the violent corridors of a Company-run orphanage in Calcutta. Starving, beaten, and alone, Rajiv escapes into the chaos of the docks, where a fateful encounter with the infamous pirate lord "Bloody" Ben Stirling sets his course for the sea..
Under Stirling’s mentorship, Rajiv rises through the ranks, learning the harsh truths of piracy, survival, and legacy. But when a high-stakes mission goes violently wrong, the cost is catastrophic. Rajiv is left for dead in the wreckage of the British ambush, clutching a scorched ring and the last threads of a shattered fleet.
Rescued by the sharp-tongued smuggler Asnah Yatim, Rajiv begins to rebuild—from the tide up. Together, they recruit a new crew of misfits and outlaws and lay the foundation for a ghost ship that sails without a flag… and bows to no empire.
This is the birth of The Ghost Maiden. And the beginning of a reckoning.
