Summary
There was a rich mythology around soulsigns among the upper echelon of society and the scrawling X (with a dip on the downstroke) on his hip did not fit anywhere into it.

In the alley, hurried steps and shouting voices rush past; they catch fragments of: “Where the fuck did they go then?” or “Keep looking!” and even “The short one looks like a bloody birthday cake, how do you lose that—”

Summary
What happens when a pirate scorned catches news that the man who abandoned him, returned home to his nearly widowed wife instead of fulfilling their promise to one another? Or, maybe worser, what happens when that same pirate finds out that the man he regrettably loved, died saving that woman from a wild jungle cat?
That pirate finds that woman and means to take his revenge on her himself. But, while he's there, he might as well find out what was so special about Mary Bonnet anyhow, right?Series
