Igor Knox

Igor Knox is a successful author working in the genres of LitRPG and fantasy.

He found his first inspiration in sea adventure classics by Robert Louis Stevenson, Rafael Sabatini and C. S. Forester among many others. At the same time, he was a passionate gamer and fantasy fan which prompted him to try his hand at the genre of LitRPG, giving it a sea adventure slant with pirates and  naval entourage.

His debut novel Isle of Destiny (A Buccaneer's Due Book 1) became the first LitRPG novel set in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of piracy. He likes to root his stories in historical settings and events with plenty of allusions to classic sea adventures, computer games and other LitRPG books.

LitRPG meets pirate adventure!

The Caribbean is a virtual world based on the Golden Age of piracy. The ring of steel, peal of cannons, clinking of coins and creaking of masts... Here players can build colonies, explore tropical islands or take to the high seas in pursuit of foes. Others, though, opt for pirate factions, stealing everything they can get their hands on. But now, all clans are building up forces in anticipation of a major tournament called "Henry Morgan's Fort."

That very reason is what leads a pirate clan to recruit Vadim through an old acquaintance. In the game, he chooses the name Rudra, and his future clanmates help him grind, level up and even become captain of a brig. He is then tasked with training a crew worthy of official membership in the strongest buccaneer clan to sail the Caribbean Sea.

But Rudra's headstrong temperament and an unusual quest cause a change of plans.

Rudra will follow in the footsteps of such renowned pirates as l'Olonnais and Henry Morgan. His adventures get him into all kinds of scrapes, introducing him to a daring pirate woman named Anneli, and putting him at odds with a mighty Spanish clan also searching for l'Olonnais' treasure.

Before long, events take him to the island of Saona, where the most powerful pirate and Spanish clans come together for an epic maritime battle...!
