Opis

Led by disgraced Captain Samuel Derby, the Esmerelda has been the most feared and envied pirate ship in the Caribbean for almost a decade. But when the ship's voodoo mage is tracked down by mythical beings from which he stole an enchanted cloak to enhance his power, the crew's lives are thrown into dark chaos. .. Shipwrecked and desperate, Derby unwittingly releases a terrible evil from this spiritual, woven cell. But as the crew struggle desperately to repair the Esmerelda and escape, the true horror of their situation begins to become clear. .. Hunted by both the French Navy and a powerful, vengeful spirit, Derby hatches an audacious plan to both clear his name and save his crew - but to succeed he will have to put his very soul on the line. --- Dark Cargo is an epic historical fantasy set in the late 1600s at the height of piracy's golden age. Drawing on (but not shackled by) the history and geography of the period, it blends the authors love of nautical history and mysticism to create a terrifically twisted and exciting yarn.
