Synopsis
Sebastian, Max and Cornelius are ready for another adventure and heading to the bustling port of Ramalat. Once there they intend to embark on a perilous sea journey in search of the fabled lost treasure of the pirate King, Captain Calinestra.
But first, they must make it through the dark and mysterious forest of Geltane and survive an encounter with Leonora; a powerful enchantress, with a terrifying secret and a magical hold over Sebastian's senses.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, when they finally reach Ramalat, a feisty female sea captain; an infamous young pirate; ravenous sea creatures, giant lizards; furious sea battles and breathtaking action await them.
Will they discover the lost treasure? Will Sebastian live to tell the tale? Will Cornelius be beaten in armed combat? And will Max EVER stop moaning?

- The Irish Times
...this book is a constantly amusing and swashbuckling mix of mirth and magic in the tradition of Terry Pratchett
- Sandwell Chronicle
Altogether this is an inspiring story, with non stop action, some fear and even romance thrown in. And one thing’s for sure, this is a hearty, good old-fashioned adventure
- Eastern Daily Press Series
The dialogue is quick and funny, and the action is captivating.

Editor's Comments
This is only the second adventure with Sebastian Darke, Cornelius and Max, but already these three characters are firm favourites of mine and I feel like I’ve known them for years.
This time Sebastian, his warrior friend Cornelius, and the endlessly complaining buffalope Max have set off to find pirate treasure and as you can imagine there’s plenty of swashbuckling, sword-fighting and plank-walking to be done along the way. So raise you mainsails and batten down your hatches for another hilarious romp!
