India Muerte and the Ship of the Dead

The smoking black line rolled forward, taking over the sea and the sky in its approach. Fog stole onto the shore and soon most of the beach was invisible. Out of the fog there came a long, slow horn, and as it cut short there came the unmistakable creaking of ship masts.

The mist rolled back, as though someone were sweeping it away with a broom. The blackness dissipated and the beach lay clear and dark gold. Anchored in the bay was a grey and white ship and pulling up to the shoreline were three boats full of the dead.

 

Description

A street kid grown up parentless on Mexico Island suddenly finds himself amongst a crew of skeletons on the legendary Ship of the Dead. Eager for adventure, he sails the Caribbean, searching for pirate treasure and the father he’s never met, all the while making friends . . . and bitter enemies.

INDIA MUERTE AND THE SHIP OF THE DEAD is the first book in a pirate fantasy adventure series, featuring the adventurous exploits of the young India Muerte in an exotic yet dangerous world as different from our own as it is similar.

 

This was a fun, feel-good adventure story something like a cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones. It’s filled with likeable rogues, misfits and an entire ship crewed by skeletons.

Amanda, Goodreads review

 

Wondrous, intense, and enchanting... This book is an adventurer's playground, filled with exotic locations that are almost-not-quite like the places we know and love, but better, infused with an undercurrent of magic that you can feel even when you can't see it.

Eden Hudson, author of the Path of the Thunderbird series
