When the life of Queen Elizabeth I is at stake, can a chaotic trickster turn the tables on a tempest to save her? Fairfax, a plucky daemon, miscalculates when he tries to dupe a cunning spymaster on the back streets of Tudor London. Facing the gallows for treason or almost certain death as a pirate, he agrees to hunt down a mysterious orb, rumoured to have the power to cure the Queen. As he sails in search of the jewel, the sun is barely past the Wanderer’s yardarm when he falls foul of the notorious pirate queen herself, Grainne O’Malley.
