The Cannon and the Quill Book Five With My Proper Blood

1718. As Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, and Charles Vane terrorize the Caribbean and Atlantic Coast, a group of Colonial lieutenant governors band together to end their reign. Led by newly appointed Governor of the Bahamas, Woodes Rogers, they offer the King's Pardon to any pirate willing to repent. They also recruit a group of former pirate captains to bring the Brethren of the Sea who refuse the pardon to justice. As the battles between them commence, the major European countries begin the War of the Quadruple Alliance. Amidst this global carnage, the demon-worshipping Ravenskalds battle with the Catholic Church-created Star Quorum to possess the Twelve Ancient Objects that are the key to controlling the world.
The Cannon and the Quill is part of the ongoing Stanton Chronicles.

"Madia introduces us to colourful characters each playing their part in the map of intrigue, swashbuckling adventure and then a wonderful touch, a link to the future and a historian working in the Smithsonian today. ... A great read with tantalizing hints of what is to come." -Peter Adams, Author
"The Cannon and the Quill delivers on all the promises it makes at the start. Its short, punchy chapters move easily between plotlines. The stories and characters are superior-no doubt the result of considerable research." -Amazon Reviewer
