A treasure map to paradise.

An island of nightmares.

And a ghost from the past who will stop at nothing to steal it all.

Off the treacherous coast of Thailand and Bangkok (1720). Pirate hunter Simon Verbeeck chases a legendary treasure that could secure peace for his loyal crew. But the island is no paradise, it is a prison ruled by Ben Powers, a sadistic rival from Simon’s past who craves vengeance and Simon’s beloved ship, the Red Ruby.

Ambushed and betrayed, Simon loses everything, his freedom, his ship, and the very prize he sought. Left for dead, his only hope is a desperate ocean crossing that will push his endurance and courage to the breaking point.

But survival brings no safety. Framed for kidnapping the King’s daughter, Simon is thrown into a Bangkok dungeon to await execution. To reclaim his ship and clear his name, he must unravel a deadly conspiracy, before a hidden enemy plunges an entire kingdom into darkness.

Packed with betrayal, vengeance, and relentless high-seas adventure, The Kings Ransom is perfect for fans of classic pirate romance and epic historical thrillers.
