The Pirate's Wake (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068291302)

Kidnapped by the English Navy. Rescued by pirates. Now torn between riches-and the life he left behind.

When Jacob Penjerrick is press-ganged into the English Navy and treated little better than a slave, he swears he'll return to his beloved Cornwall.

But fate has other plans.

After a brutal sea battle leaves him stranded, Jacob seizes his chance to escape. Joined by a ragtag band of fellow castaways, he throws his lot in with a pirate crew-men who answer to no king, live by the cutlass, and promise riches beyond his imagination.

As the infamous pirate captain spins tales of gold and glory, Jacob must choose: will he keep his vow and find his way home-or surrender to the wild freedom of the Caribbean? Can he trust the men he sails with? And will he live long enough to make that choice at all?

A swashbuckling coming-of-age adventure that plunges readers into the savage beauty of the 17th-century Caribbean-where loyalty is scarce, death is close, and freedom always comes at a price.
