A young lad awakens on an island, alone and brutally injured, with no memory of his past.
Captain Declan Ross searched for riches that will free him and his headstrong daughter, Anne, from the piracy business forever . . . Bartholomew Thorne, an infamously ruthless pirate, seeks to destroy Ross and any who stand in his way of the legendary treasure hidden by a mysterious order of monks. With these intriguing characters and many more, Wayne Thomas Batson weaves a spell-binding adventure filled with high-seas drama where battles rage, storms brew, a long-dormant volcano awakens, and a sea creature slithers in the deep as pirates race for a cliff-top fortress.

"Yup, sometimes it takes a while to get around to reading even the best Christian Fantasy! I am just one small voice of thousands of fans, but my take is this is wonderful fantasy. The ending holds just a many surprises as the beginning."

— Rachael, 1/11/2012" I purchased this book for my 14 yo son - after he read it, I read it. It was marketed as Christian fiction for teens. It is nominally Christian in theme (more 'moral' than overtly Christian) and I felt that the 'torture' sequences were a bit too graphic for our family's standards. "

— Alyssa, 10/7/2010" At the beginning of this book, it started off alright. But then it got slower and slower. And it started to get predictable. And the end was very predictable. "
