My Fallen Angel (2000)
“Aubyn studied the Swan for any sign that the white flag waving from its standard was a trap. Not that the Revenger would have a problem overpowering the smaller vessel were that indeed the case, but it seemed odd that there was a such a small number of men visible on deck.

Nothing but the deck of the ship move...d, the pirates waiting patiently to inflict their revenge upon the Swan. Lucien had watched over the last two hours as each member of the crew had grown more and more furious with their prey, the smaller vessel having done a remarkable job of inflicting damage upon them. Now they stood, hatred on their faces, greed lighting their eyes, their dirty and unkempt hands tight around the thick cords they held, the grapnels attached to the ends of the hemp swinging like pendulums.
It might have been better for the crew members of the Swan if their ship had been sunk, Lucien thought, but he’d ordered Tully not to do so.MoreLess
