Playing the Fool, Taking the Seas

To avenge his father's murder, Kane—a legendary Archmage in disguise as a playboy pirate—hunts for the killer while hiding his true power. When the Empire he serves faces destruction at the hands of the rival Kingdom, Kane is forced to reveal himself. He crushes the invaders, uncovers the conspiracy behind his father's death, defeats the enemy Archmage in a final showdown, and becomes Pirate King—winning both revenge and the queen's love.
