He was banished. He didn't stay gone.

Some people take to the sea in search of fortune. Connor has something far more personal in mind.
Captain of the White Ruby, Connor van Horn has spent years sailing beyond the reach of the law alongside a crew bound together by loyalty, survival, and a shared enemy: Admiral Crowe, the most powerful man on the seas.
When a trail of cryptic clues begins leading them toward something Crowe desperately wants, Connor sees an opportunity to finally strike back. But they aren't the only ones following the trail. With every island they reach and every secret they uncover, the hunt draws them deeper into Crowe's grasp — and closer to a mysterious fighter who always seems to be one step ahead of them.
What begins as a search for treasure soon becomes something far more personal. Old wounds resurface, loyalties are tested, and Connor is forced to confront a past he has spent years keeping buried.
Because on these seas, everyone carries a secret. And some names are more dangerous than others.
The project
- Genre
- Pirate Adventure
- Status
- WIP — Planning
Know My Name is a character-driven pirate adventure built around mystery, revenge, and the unlikely family found aboard the White Ruby. Set in a grounded world, the story embraces the freedom and danger of life at sea while keeping its focus firmly on the people living it — their friendships, histories, loyalties, and the quieter moments shared between one adventure and the next.
Beneath the treasure hunts, clashing blades, cryptic clues, and pursuit of a common enemy lies a story deeply concerned with identity and the pasts people carry with them. Revenge may set the crew on their course, but Know My Name is just as much about what they find in one another along the way: trust, belonging, love, and a family they chose for themselves — all while secrets and buried truths threaten to change what they thought they knew about each other.
The journey has only just begun
Know My Name is currently in the early stages of drafting, with Connor and the crew of the White Ruby only beginning their journey across the seas. As the story grows, so will this page — with more about the books, characters, and the world they inhabit.
For now, there are still plenty of secrets left to uncover.
