The Runaway Pirate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798287622367)

Some treasures change the world. Some change you.

Finn Blackheart never wanted to be a pirate like his father, the fearsome Captain Eddie of the Red Horn. When Finn is caught studying the captain's forbidden logbook, he flees into the night-alone on a leaking raft, chased by storms...and a Kraken.

Shipwrecked on the hidden Isle of Whispers, Finn meets Maya, a young guardian of the island. Together they brave sirens, traps, and the colossal Grotesques-crab-beasts older than any map-following riddles into the lost city of Orion. There, a sleeping power stirs: the legendary Starstone, whose call can bend wind, water, and will.

The Starstone awakens more than old magic. It raises a ship thought lost to legend-the Underworld-and binds a strange new crew to Finn.
