Captain Declan Ross searched for riches that will free him and his headstrong daughter, Anne, from the piracy business forever . . . Bartholomew Thorne, an infamously ruthless pirate, seeks to destroy Ross and any who stand in his way of the legendary treasure hidden by a mysterious order of monks. With these intriguing characters and many more, Wayne Thomas Batson weaves a spell-binding adventure filled with high-seas drama where battles rage, storms brew, a long-dormant volcano awakens, and a sea creature slithers in the deep as pirates race for a cliff-top fortress.
Thoughts: I was a little hesitant getting into this book after my less than pleasant experience with The Door Within. But Isle of Swords surprised me. A well written, action packed, faith driven tale of the high seas, it swept me away almost immediately! Intriguing characters and a fantastic plot! Also, this book does not condone pirates. Our good guys are mostly good guys, but they are still pirates and this is shown as wrong if a little necessary. I appreciated the fact that there is a fairly honest portrayal of pirates in here despite the main characters partaking of such a trade, and they're still enjoyable even so!
Content: Violence, it gets a little bloody at times. Other than that, a clean read for all ages!
