As previously mentioned in my post of the last chapter of The Alchemist of Middlesbrooke, the next Realmgard story, Captain Goblinbeard is now live and available for purchase as both a paperback and ebook.
And here’s a little of what to expect in this new Realmgard adventure:
Once again, it’s Salvage Thursday in Porthaven.
As the pirates of Porthaven race to claim a month’s worth of salvage in the Porthaven Harbour, young pirate Dunstana Darkstone finds herself on a collision course with Captain Goblinbeard.
Yes, that’s his real name. No, he doesn’t actually have a beard.
As Captain Goblinbeard clashes with his new young rival, aspiring member of the Brotherhood of the Coasts Billie Hawkins follows closely as she strives to learn a thing or two under his mentorship. Meanwhile, Dunstana has a mentor of her own, joining forces once again with the captain of the Red Wolf Pirates Myra Morningstar.
While another piratical adventure unfolds at sea, Dunstana’s big sister Kat is having a bad day on land involving forty-seven pounds of smoked salmon, leading to an unexpected encounter with a strange Goblin girl with an impressive grudge against Captain Goblinbeard.
The Sisters Darkstone return for another adventure in the latest tale of Realmgard!
We’ve already most of the important characters for this one in my various Encyclopedia Realmgardica posts, but here they are again:
• The man himself, Captain Goblinbeard:

• Billie Hawkins, assigned to his tutelage through the Brotherhood of the Coasts’ Mentorship Program:

• Dunstana Darkstone, stoked for Salvage Thursday:
• Myra Morningstar, less stoked to be assigned as Dunstana’s mentor:

• Lena Goblinbeard, has some Daddy Issues to work out…

• Kat Darkstone, basically just along for the ride:
Paperback copies are available on Amazon (which ebooks coming soon):
(Copies are available on other international Amazon marketplaces, but I’ve linked to Canada and the US because the vast majority of my readers are from one of those two countries)
And ebooks are available via Smashwords and Smashwords-adjacent retailers:
