About the Book
Hunted by his past. Bound by vengeance. The promise he made now hangs in the balance.
Having escaped from the clutches of the infamous French pirate François L’Olonnais, Jacob Penjerrick can at last fulfil his vow: to return home to Cornwall.
But his past is bearing down on him.
When a man he thought dead arrives in Port Royal with an army of former English soldiers, Jacob’s passage home slips from his grasp. As the vindictive captain of the anti-pirate commission tightens his noose, Jacob and his crew are forced into hiding.
As old loyalties fracture and new threats gather, Jacob must draw on his newly forged courage and wits to survive.
But some debts are not easily buried. Who can he trust? Will he ever find his way home – or will the past claim what it is owed?
The next instalment of The Penjerrick Chronicles plunges readers deeper into the corrupt complexity of 17th century Caribbean life – where loyalty is scarce, silver rules, and every debt must be paid.
