BRETHREN: Raised by Wolves, Vol 1

Brethren is the story of John Williams, Viscount of Marsdale (known as Will), sent by his estranged father to manage the family’s sugar plantation in 1667 Jamaica. On his arrival, he instead joins up with the Brethren of the Coast, a predominantly gay tribe of buccaneers raiding Spanish settlements and ships under the auspices of Jamaica’s British governor, and falls in love with a mostly straight and intermittently mad buccaneer called Gaston the Ghoul. The increasing emotional attachment and sexual tension between Will and Gaston is intertwined with finely paced, and escalating storyline revealing the characters’ back-story.
