The year is 2512. The oceans have risen. A new dawn of piracy has begun.

Following the sudden death of their father, twins Grace and Connor Tempest hastily depart the suffocating small town of Crescent Moon Bay in their dad’s old sailing boat. Caught in a vicious storm, they are shipwrecked and separated from each other in the cold, cruel ocean.

Connor is saved by Cheng Li, Deputy Captain of The Diablo – the notorious pirate ship, captained by flamboyant rule-breaker and pirate royalty, Molucco Wrathe.

Grace, meanwhile, is taken by handsome Midshipman Lorcan Furey, onto a mysterious ship with no name, a blood-red deck and an enigmatic, seemingly absent, Captain.

In a world of danger and secrets, will the twins ever be reunited?

Orphaned twins Grace and Connor Tempest might now be travelling on the same ship, but that doesn’t make for plain sailing.

When a textbook pirate attack goes awry, Molucco Wrathe loses one of the most-prized members of his crew. It’s a wake-up call to Connor and Grace concerning the violence of life aboard a pirate ship.

Cheng Li proffers a tantalising invite for both twins to experience life at the elite Pirate Academy. There, Connor soon finds his loyalties torn between maverick Captain Wrathe and the all-powerful Pirate Federation.

Grace receives disturbing news from the Vampirate ship and plots a high jeopardy return.

Meanwhile, renegade Vampirate Sidorio stalks the coast – watching and waiting to exact a terrible revenge.

Grace journeys with Lorcan Furey to Sanctuary, the mountaintop retreat run by Mosh Zu Kamal, which offers healing for troubled Vampirates. At Sanctuary, Grace discovers amazing new powers but falls prey to fresh dangers and temptations – including charismatic “Vaquero Vampirate” Johnny Desperado.

Back on The Diablo, Connor is caught up in plans for a daring heist, devised by pirate brothers Molucco and Barbarro Wrathe. Connor is assigned the role of protector to Molucco’s wayward nephew, Moonshine Wrathe. Moonshine proves a loose cannon and Connor is forced to commit an act of violence, which shocks him to his core.

Meanwhile, newly sired Vampirate Stukeley finds himself wrestling between the life he has left behind and the dark realm opening up before him.

Grace and Connor Tempest discover the shocking truth of their true identity. What they learn creates a deep rift between the twins and casts a dark shadow over their future.

Rebel Vampirate Sidorio is intent on expanding his empire but finds himself distracted by the bewitching Lady Lola Lockwood, aka Black Heart. With her love of blood-baths, a shipboard ‘winery’ and a boundless ambition, will the merciless Lady Lola prove the perfect ally or a deadly rival?

Responding to a devastating attack at the very heart of Pirate Academy, the Pirate Federation commissions its first dedicated ship of Vampirate Assassins and places its newest captain, Wu Cheng Li, in command.

The oceans have never been as seductive, nor as dangerous.

Everything is about to change…

Sidorio and Lola return from their icy honeymoon with plans to accelerate their reign of terror.

Grace and Connor each receive an invitation to spend time with their true father and self-styled wicked stepmother. The twins find themselves drawn into an exotic new realm as filled with temptations as it is fraught with danger.

With the Vampirate Captain still ailing, his guru Mosh Zu Kamal enlists the help of Darcy Flotsam and Lorcan Furey in an unprecedented mission… to forge an alliance with the Pirate Federation against the renegade Vampirates.

As the first shots are fired in the war to control the oceans, key lives are lost and longstanding allegiances called into question.

It’s time to take a side…

A bloody war ravages the oceans. Already, many on both sides have given their lives. Many more will do so before the final ceasefire.

Grace Tempest proves her healing powers, working alongside Mosh Zu and Darcy at Sanctuary. She discovers an ancient book, foretelling a shattering prophesy. One twin must die…

Oblivious, her brother Connor takes his place at the heart of the Alliance mission to reclaim The Diablo. He is reunited with a former – forever changed – comrade.

As the decisive battle looms, each side races to recruit new allies and one twin embarks on a perilous journey to enlist warriors – who long ago relinquished their swords – to join the ultimate fight to liberate the oceans.

When Connor Tempest and his swashbuckling pirate buddies get a rare break in their duties, they’re in the mood for fun, sun and adventure.

A chance meeting with the crew of The Lorelei seems to offer all that and more. Soon, Connor and co are learning to freedive into the amazing world far beneath the ocean’s surface. But the pirates are further out of their depth than they realise.

Under the water, danger is lurking – and it’s going to take everything they’ve got to get out alive…
