Ambushed by the Shogun's samurai, Jack and his friends have only one hope of escape -- the Seto Sea. Unless Jack can harness the Ring of Wind, he and his friends are destined for a watery grave.

In 1611 Japan, English orphan Jack Fletcher continues his difficult training during his first year at samurai school while Dragon Eye, the ninja who killed his father, seeks him out to obtain a navigational logbook, and Jack's only hope of survival rests on his success in an ancient ritual.
