Chantler, Scott

Remembering his dark past as a young knight in the service of King Roderick, Captain Drake investigates long-ago mysteries in order to track down three thieves who may hold the key to finding Dessa's missing twin brother.

After pulling a badly injured Captain Drake from the water, Nessa must decide whether or not she can trust him in the fight against Greyfalcon and if it is true that he has seen Jared.

In this sixth installment to the series, pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place as long-lost twins Dessa and Jared come closer to finding each other.

When the Sea Wolf's crew pulls a badly injured Captain Drake out of the water, the tables are turned. Will Dessa have her nemesis thrown overboard? Or can she trust him enough to join forces against the treacherous Greyfalcon? Is it true that Drake has seen Jared? Or is her brother dead, like Greyfalcon told her?.

Dessa convinces the smuggler Quinn to transport her, Topper and Fisk to the mysterious Island of Astaroth. Dessa is convinced her twin brother, Jared, who was abducted years earlier by the Queen's chamberlain, is being held on the island. However, soon after setting sail, they are overtaken by a pirate ship commanded by the King of Pirates, whom they discover is interested in only one treasure on board: Dessa's map to the location of Astaroth! Will Dessa's plan for finding her brother be thwarted? Meanwhile, Captain Drake, still hot on the trail of Dessa and her cohorts, is startled when he comes face-to-face with a young boy delivering him a new horse. Why does the boy look so shockingly familiar?.

In this thrilling sixth installment of Scott Chantler's popular Three Thieves graphic novel series, the separate adventures of twins Dessa and Jared play out simultaneously and seem poised to intersect as the book ends. Dessa, along with Topper and Fisk, has managed a daring landing onto the flying island of Astaroth, where she hopes to find her long-lost brother. Instead, they discover a bizarre world where three children are being held by a mysterious and rarely seen man they call the Toymaker. Certain the Toymaker is Greyfalcon, Jared's kidnapper, Dessa is determined to track him down and confront him about her brother's location. Meanwhile, Captain Drake has unintentionally stumbled upon Jared himself and decides to hold the boy as bait to lure Dessa to him. But as he learns from Jared the particulars about the boy's abduction nine years ago, Drake is troubled. Why would such powerful people want to abduct a small peasant boy? The answer to that question is about to shock Drake--and Jared!.
