A tale of pirates, adventure, mystery, buried treasure and ghosts. Because sometimes fate is fickle. Sometimes ill winds fill the sails. Sometimes you have to make your own luck. All the days of Rowan O'Mara's short but adventurous life have been lived under the shadow of his no good sea captain father Michael, a tight fisted, hard hearted, almost-pirate who cares for nothing except gambling, drink, and his great tall ship, the Daedalus. At just sixteen years old, Rowan has endured his father's unkindness nearly all his life, and has sailed the sea beside him only out of loyalty and a love for the ship that has been his home for as long as he can remember. Sailing the depths and breadth of Silvermythe, a world that is home to magical creatures, mythical beings, and a tapestry of legends, Rowan longs for freedom from his father and from the misfortunes of his birth, and makes a vow that that one day he will seek that freedom on the waves of the great Asbriand sea. When Michael runs afoul of a set of pirate gamblers and cheats to win a mysterious map said to lead to a cursed treasure, Rowan determines to help his father find the gold, and with his portion of the spoils set out to find a brand new life of his own. Beset by danger, wicked spells, sea harpies and the ghost of the long-dead pirate whose treasure they seek, it will take all of Rowan's nerve, skill, and intelligence to get them out of danger alive. Will his courage and cunning be enough?
