'A gloriously action-packed adventure, full of characters you really care about' - Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon
'Pirates done right! I love this world' - Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl

Neo Splice has left his friends behind at the Pirate Academy and is aboard the legendary Brave as the Waves. Together with Captain December Wilde and her faithful four-legged companion Pickle, he is following a mysterious trail of clues left by his late mother. Neo is one step closer to revealing his unique destiny.

Back at the Pirate Academy, Jacoby Blunt and Jasmine Peacock are fighting to understand what makes their friends, family and now a favourite teacher defect to the rebellious League of True Pirates. So when Jasmine launches a maverick sailing mission to reunite with her father in the hope of finding out more, her friend Jacoby is right by her side. But a surprise twist sees the two friends separated and behind enemy lines.

Survival for all three young pirates-in-training will depend on everything they have learnt at Pirate Academy. However, Neo, Jasmine and Jacoby will soon discover they each have far more power than they realised to change the course of events...

Three friends divided by fate but united in mission. It's another swashbuckling adventure with our heroes from Pirate Academy!
