This is a book for young adults in the tradition of Treasure Island: pirates, treasure, battles, betrayals and even a little romance for fifteen year old Jack Hampton. It is a gritty, tough book full of action and mystery. It moves from prison to ambush, from a house of witches to a ship racing across the ocean, from mermaid-haunted seas to treasured islands, from pirate strongholds to the ancient kingdom of Curchan. It's full of clues, hints and puzzling incidents. It has enormous characters that come to life on the page and drive the story to a surprising conclusion. At its heart is the outlawed "King's Pirate", and the board game he and Jack used to play: The Game of Pirate.
