A legendary sea captain.

A vanished ship.

A desperate hunt that will drive him beyond the edge of the map.

Cape of Good Hope (1730). Renowned Captain Simon Verbeeck is summoned for a perilous mission. Track down a vessel that vanished off the west coast of Africa. Aboard that ship were vital supplies, and Helena van Gelderen, the Governor’s beautiful niece.

The trail is cold, littered only with wreckage and whispers of a ruthless new pirate rising from the shadows. Failure means a young woman’s life lost and the lifeline of trade falling into the hands of cutthroats. For Simon, it is a quest that will test his courage to the very brink.

Then comes the only clue. A derelict longboat adrift at sea, its crew dead, its hold stuffed with strange gold bars, and a cryptic map burned into its planks. The map points not to the ocean Simon commands, but to a desolate desert feared even by pirates.

To save Helena, Simon must follow a ghost from the past into a land where no sailor dares tread. But can he uncover the truth before the sands swallow him whole?

Filled with high-stakes adventure, romance, and mystery, Whispers of the Sunken Ship is perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and Master and Commander.

Set sail on the ninth and final book of Meiring Fouche’s unforgettable pirate saga today.
