A once-legendary pirate and his loyal crew out to retake the high seas…

Captain James R. Hawk, aka Trusty Jack, and his salty scoundrels are do-gooder buccaneers leaving a trail of merry mayhem in their wake. Their credo: ignore the corrupt laws of the Jewel Island’s greedy governor and sail the tropical seas in search of treasure, freedom, and adventure.

But when the governor’s royal navy teams up with a powerful mage, Trusty Jack’s sordid past catches up with him. Lost love, lost lives, and a lost ship haunt the legendary pirate. That’s when a cunning gnome arrives from the mainland with a daring proposal. Will Jack muster the salty courage to sail through the illusion-filled mists to reach a forbidden island? The ghostly horrors and powerful curse at his destination will test more than his pirate mettle. He’ll have to weigh the price of gold against the risk of peril to himself, his crew, and those he loves… and face down a haunting past trailing in his wake.

Dragonlance meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this swashbuckling pirate fantasy – a revenge fueled tale of clashing cutlasses, monsters and magic, second-chance romance, and salty sea adventure!
