Angebote / Angebote:

When a treasure hunt on an uninhabited island takes an unexpected turn, a band of pirates and their stern captain become the unlikely caretakers of a baby girl. The child-daughter of beloved Queen Jia Li of the Southern Kingdom-was set adrift when her parents' ship was brutally attacked and sunk. So the men raise the princess as their own, and she does them proud by growing up to be sharp of mind, brave of heart, and kind in spirit. On her sixteenth birthday, the teen officially becomes a full-fledged pirate, taking on all the risks and rewards that go with the honor. Then one day, while on an expedition to find the priceless and powerful Jade Pearl, the captain and his crew are taken captive by order of Jia Li's sister, the feared Queen Ming Yue of the Northern Kingdom. The queen tries to turn her newfound niece against the pirates, but Ming Yue's account of the fateful day when the girl's mother and father were lost at sea does not add up. The indomitable teen sets about finding the truth, but what is revealed might destroy everyone she holds dear. If the pirate princess is to triumph, she must harness all of her skills-and one very special gift. What is at stake is more valuable than the Jade Pearl itself!
