Author April Gray’s New Book ‘Deception’ Follows a Pirate Captain Who, After Accepting Her Christian Faith, Must Decide if She Wants to Leave Behind Her Violent Life

April Gray, who draws inspiration from her love of history and pirates, has completed her new book, "Deception": a continuation of the story of Captain Lex Bennet who, after accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, must grapple with her dueling identities as she leads her crew on a perilous mission.

"Pirating is a dangerous occupation suited for those who want to live merrily, and briefly," writes Gray. "Following the events in the book 'Mirage', Capt. Lex Bennet, newly of the Christian faith, thinks she may have lost her taste for the violence and uncertainty the pirating life brings. But what does that mean for her ship, and her crew?

"She already dodged a bullet when her identity as a woman, carefully concealed her whole life, was revealed. Her crew had embraced her, but was it only because of her cunning tactics and good fortune at procuring wealth for them in the rich waters of the Caribbean Sea? What will happen when they discover she intends to leave the life and take her beloved sloop 'Mirage' with her?

"Lex plays a perilous game, balancing relationships with her fiancé Benjamin, her best friend Glenn, and her deceitful crew as she navigates in unfamiliar waters—a journey not everyone aboard the 'Mirage' will survive."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, April Gray's new book is a fascinating and spellbinding adventure that will capture the hearts and minds of readers everywhere. As Captain Lex struggles with what she wishes her future to be, enemies from all around threaten her and her crew, but will she manage to protect her loyal mates or succumb to those who wish to see her defeated?
