While repairs begin under watchful eyes and borrowed hands, Captain Rajiv Rhys Davies finds his past clawing back through salt and shadow. An old name resurfaces, tied to a page sealed in wax and soaked in blood. But some truths come dressed as thieves.</p><p>In the crooked alleys and flickering tavern lights, the price of memory becomes clear: every secret stirs the sea, and not all ghosts stay buried. When a stranger’s fingers reach into Rhys’s pocket, they pull more than coin—they draw blood, and set the course for something far darker than betrayal. Because in Tenina, nothing is free. Not trust. Not time. And certainly not the truth.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Written, directed, and produced by Bryan Anthony Gwatney and Bearcycle Production Co.</strong></p><p><em>Pieces of Eight: A Skull &amp; Bones Story</em> is a fan-made audio drama podcast inspired by Ubisoft’s <em>Skull and Bones</em> universe.
