Keitran's Ascension
A short story of the Kraken's Caribbean

Finally, the story of the Vampire King, protector of all Tortuga.
A dark and stormy night (really). Emily and Keitran batten down the hatches at the hillside cabin, then sit to tell tales. She wants to know of his past. He decides it's time she know.
From a poverty stricken Europe, to the woman who changes his life forever, then to the glitter of Italy and finally, to the shores of a Caribbean island where his greatest responsibility waits.
Keitran explains, reunites with Emily's husband and slashes the final connections to his past, while tightening the bounds to Silvestri's future.

Maureen O. Betita began her career writing about pirates and intends to continue that tradition the rest of her life. Pirates are her passion, though not so much historically accurate pirates as the greats of Hollywood Pirates. She uniquely blends romance, adventure, Steampunk (on occasion) and fantasy/paranormal elements. Pirate Festivals, Steampunk Gatherings, Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions, Renaissance Faires – these are all within her social sphere and she borrows, steals, and creates stories from her adventures at these venues. Oh, and her imagination.
