RIGGED

"I have a soft spot for pirates. They made sure to point it out to me, right below the ribs."

After years of isolation, the little island of Amrestir is finally getting its recognition from the world at large. Unfortunately for the outlaws living there, this includes every piece of plank and plunder making up its shores. Now ambassadors from across the Grand Sea are drifting in to fight tooth, nail, feather, flipper and fin, for dominance of the town built on piracy.

To Pamela Marsson, a young con-artist and recent stowaway to Amrestir, it's a golden opportunity to finally make a name for herself. When an ill-fated forgery scheme lands her straight in the middle of an international power-struggle, and an accidental business opportunity at the local magic institute, the shockwave of Pamela's ambition may just send ripples across every edge of the ocean.

Greg Lucci spins a tale of bizarre and offbeat opportunists struggling to make a living in a world of piracy, pyromancy, printmaking and propaganda. RIGGED is home to desperate sailors, fire-crazed zealots, living suits of armor, counterfeiting rats, flying mailmen, undersea legions and fitness-cult walruses all vying to make a living on the waves, if not a killing.
