After a night of misadventure, a roguish street lad from Mexico Island wakes up aboard a legendary ship crewed by skeletons. In search of the father he’s never met — a great mound of treasure would be nice, too — India sails the fantastical Caribbean on the Ship of the Dead, exploring the colonial outpost of Kingston, revelling in the pirate island of Tortugal, and meeting colourful characters, friend and foe alike. But his adventures take a turn when he makes an enemy of the son of the Kingston governor, Lancer Main: the bullying villain would much rather see India and his new friends swinging from the gallows... INDIA MUERTE AND THE SHIP OF THE DEAD is the first book in a pirate fantasy adventure series, featuring the thrilling exploits of India Muerte in an exotic yet dangerous world.
