Description

Press-ganged on pain of death to serve a merciless pirate crew, Jack Shandy is caught between the cutlass, the gibbet and something much darker. The clear waters of the Caribbean carry the taint of a terrible black magic. At its epicentre stands the infamous, smoldering Edward Thatch - better known as Blackbeard - and his dread crew of dead men. Jack is about to embark on a quest that will see him weather sea and storm, blade and broadside, a quest that will take him to the ends of the known world, into the realms of necromancy and to a bloody confrontation with Blackbeard himself.
