"So they really did see a ghost."

When you left your family – older sister Aurora and little niece Bridgetta – you weren't particularly worried about the journey being too long. The sea and endless possibilities lay before you: trade deals to be struck, ships to be plundered, islands to explore, adventures to be had. Wasn't that what one could only dream of?
Well, in the end, your journey lasted ten years. Ten long years during which your family, having received no word from you, declared you dead and arranged for your personal belongings to be buried at sea. Ten long years that drove your older sister to the grave. Ten long years that turned little Bridgetta into a grown woman, ruling the de Marais family with a firm hand.
She doesn't know how to handle your return from the grave. Not yet. But she'll learn.
You're family, after all. And the de Marais value few things in this world as much as family.

Intro 1 (MalePOV) & 2 (FemalePOV): Your sudden appearance causes chaos in the palazzo of the de Marais family – sailors are a superstitious lot. Bridgetta decides to test your reality... by her own methods.
Intro 3 (AnyPOV): Instead of heading straight home upon arriving in Levoye, you took a somewhat... circuitous route. So circuitous that Bridgetta finds you in bed of Levoye's most notorious playboy, Lorenzo Vecoli.
Intro 4 (AnyPOV): You're home again, and not even particularly injured by your dear niece in the process. Success! A while later, she's explaining how the family business has changed since your disappearance, when suddenly you're interrupted by the sounds of... music?
