From Dusk to Dawn Series
A series starting with Lord Beckett coming to Port Royal at the beginning of DMC. It deals with the complicated intricacies and schemes that tightly interweave personal and political aspects of Beckett's life as well as all the people around him. Features many of my original characters, but mainly focuses on Patrick MacHeath. I borrowed
ophelivia's Rose Gillette and
greeneyespurple's Prudence Beckett for this series, which is in a way a mixture of our three separate canons.
