Fletcher and I will explain why over the course of the rest of this article. And if they’re curious, they should probably give it a go. Many people have certainly heard of it who’ve never read it.

Now Blood isn’t remotely a fantasy figure – except in the loosest of senses – but historical swashbucklers had a huge impact on sword-and-sorcery, my favorite flavor of fantasy, so Sabatini and other writers like him are “in the wheelhouse,” if you will pardon the pun, and certainly merit a look if it’s the action and swordplay in fantasy that you most enjoy.Īlso, pirates.

Notes Livestream and Record & Stream Rights Available Captain Blood is a story of love, regret and, ultimately, redemption. Reluctantly, Blood chooses to escape and becomes one of the most feared pirates in the Caribbean, not knowing that fate will take him back to the plantation and the woman he left behind. However, when a band of pirates suddenly attacks Barbados, Blood is faced with an impossible choice: escape to freedom and risk losing Arabella, or stay with Arabella but remain a slave.
Like Blood, Arabella suffers under her uncle's wrath, and the pair plan to escape the island and start a new life together. Sentenced to a life of slavery in Barbados, Blood falls in love with the brutal plantation owner's niece, Arabella. Peter Blood is convicted of treason for tending to the wounds of a rebel during a rebellion against King James II.
