Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Walker, Shiv, and Genoa are marooned on Plumb Island with the crew of the Jacklight, their ship in tatters. As they plan their escape, Walker corresponds with his grandfather using his sea-faring message jug. He learns that a gold-trimmed ship, billowed in storm clouds, has arrived in Winooski Bay. And one of its passengers is a clairvoyant woman who knows the secrets of Atlantis--and she looks exactly like Genoa.Drawing from sources as disparate as Tintin, the Iliad, Kidnapped!, and Moby Dick, Renier has woven together a breathless tale that will leave readers with their ears ringing from the cannonshot, and their eyes dazzled from the glowing stares of seawitches.
After their perilous encounter with the sea-witches, the pirate crew of the Jacklight find refuge on a deserted island, but shadowy creatures have been spotted in the jungle, and when Walker, Shiv, and Genoa discover mysterious ruins, the dark history of the archipelago begins to unravel. Legend tells of a mad king, a fallen civilization, and a powerful royal family in search of their lost sister. And for reasons Walker can't understand, Genoa seems to be at the center of it all.
