Zak was a child alone in a strange city – and starving. Weakened by weeks without food he hadn’t the strength to flee when he stole a loaf of bread.
The incident was witnessed by Madam Ziya who bribed the official not to carry out the usual sentence of cutting off the offending hand. Madam Ziya then adopted Zak and educated him in the ways of life.
When old enough, Zak was taken to sea by notorious pirate Captain Del Greco – the lover of Madam Ziya – and soon became a father figure to Zak.
Timothy Rosemount was the son of Lord Rosemount and when Timothy and Zak met there was an instant hatred between them – fuelled by the fact that both men had fallen in love with Abigail.
Zak accidently killed Abigail’s father and was hunted down relentlessly by Timothy who had joined the Royal Navy – resulting in a series of ferocious sea battles.
Lord Rosemount’s gambling addiction threatens to leave Timothy penniless but is saved when he captures Zak’s fortune. The sole benefactor will be Timothy’s only daughter Lana – to whom he is devoted. However, Zak has become devoted to Lana also.
Zak or Timothy must die – it is only a matter of time.
