Rising in the East — Rob Kidd

BEFORE THE BLACK PEARL WAS CURSED, THERE WAS A YOUNG CAPTAIN NAMED JACK SPARROW

An army of shadows has been amassed. Its one goal: to destroy the Pirate Lords for their Shadow Master -- an alchemist who has created a special gold that grants him unfathomable powers. But the soothsayer, Tia Dalma, has other plans for the Lords and cannot allow them to be destroyed. So she calls on the one man who can turn the tide -- Captain Jack Sparrow.

Volume Two in the epic Legends of the Brethren Court series follows the trail of Shadow Gold to Asia, where Pirate Lords Mistress Ching and Sao Feng reluctantly join forces with Jack Sparrow in an attempt to conquer the East India Trading Company. Will they prevail? Or will the Seven Seas fall under the reign of the Company and the lord of shadows?
