Tales of swashbuckling adventure, murder, treachery, and mayhem! One would be mistaken to think of pirates as roaming only the Caribbean. Pirates as famous as William Kidd and Henry Every have at various times plundered, pillaged, and murdered their way up and down the New England seaboard, striking fear among local merchants and incurring the wrath of colonial authorities. Piracy historian Gail Selinger brings these tales of mayhem and villainy to life while also exploring why New England became such a breeding ground for high seas crime and how the view of piracy changed over time, from winking toleration to brutal crackdown. Included in this volume are: Ned Low’s sadistic—at times cannibalistic—reign of terror on the high seas and his mysterious disappearance. John Quelch’s defiant and unapologetic proclamations before being hanged in front of Boston’s crowds. Henry Every’s daring attack on the Grand Mogul’s fleet, widely considered the largest maritime heist in history. Pirates of New England opens up new chapters in the history of piracy, ones that you’ll come back to again and again—Welcome aboard!

When their parents are discovered brutally murdered in a ditch, Kenya and London are left orphaned, forced to navigate through the unforgiving streets of Detroit. They might be identical twins, but they are as different as night and day. With one fighting relentlessly to make it out of the ghetto, the other eagerly embraces true hood life and everything their deceased parents believed in: selling drugs, living fast, and even dying young if it means getting paid. Kenya's coldhearted and crazy, just like her Pops. Nothing is off limits, and no one else matters—not even her sister, if she gets in her way. Blood may be thicker than water, but in one sister's eyes, cash is king; it's her only family, and most definitely the head of her conniving household!

Legend has it that there exist a total of seven races living in the Divine Great Land: Human Clan, Merman, Savage Clan, Wing Clan, Ghost Clan, Wisdom Race, and God Clan. Human Clan was the present Great Sheng Dynasty. The Merman s and Savage Clan were almost completely slaughtered by the Human Clan, but Wing Clan, Ghost Clan, Wisdom Clan, and God Clan seemed to only exist in legends. The King of the Human Clan was naturally the emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Wu Deng. He fought for supremacy over the world, killing and driving away other races. With the Merman race as their leader, they were hunted down and killed by the Great Realm King. And Ming Prince, as the least favored son of the Emperor of Great Sheng Dynasty, watched as his broken nation's Human Clan was annihilated, and his parents and brothers slaughtered one another. The Ming Prince turned into Pluto. Everywhere Pluto passed, he turned into scorched earth.
