Becoming Barbosa

De: Ryan Sabean

Narrado por: J. Bell

In the bustling port town of Fowey, young Edgar Barbosa had everything he could ask for: a loving family, a stable life, and dreams of one day exploring the open seas. He longed for adventure, but he thought he had time—to prepare, to grow, to choose his path. When a pirate attack shatters his peaceful world, Edgar is thrust into a life he isn’t ready for.

Raised aboard a merchant ship, he hones his skills as a sailor. But the darker sides of the Navy’s practices—its greed, cruelty, and chains—soon reveal themselves. Disillusioned, Edgar takes a stand to break those chains and reclaim freedom.

Stranded and without a ship, Edgar and his closest friends find refuge among privateers fighting for liberation. It’s a path that forces him to grapple with the irony of his new identity: a pirate seeking justice, a rebel yearning for peace. In a world where loyalty is fragile and morality shifts like the tides, Edgar must decide how much of himself he’s willing to sacrifice to claim the life he deserves.

Becoming Barbosa is a sweeping tale of resilience, rebellion, and the making of a legend. Perfect for listeners who crave the grit of revolution, the allure of freedom, and the courage to challenge the tides of fate.
