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.
