'So engaging, with a great cast of characters.' - Kiah Thomas, author of The Callers

The year is 2507. The oceans have risen. A new dawn of piracy has begun.

Jacoby Blunt and Jasmine Peacock are students at the elite Pirate Academy. This is no ordinary school. Lessons range from Knots Class and Sailing to Combat Workshop. The students hail from famous pirate families. The teachers are all legendary sea captains. The pressure is always on and friendship is everything.

When a new kid - the mysterious Neo Splice - arrives, everything changes FAST. Suddenly, the dangers are no longer at sea but stalking the classrooms and corridors of Pirate Academy. In the face of real peril, the students of Barracuda class must put everything they have learned to the test against an unexpected and ruthless new enemy.

Welcome to Pirate Academy where every day is a swashbuckling adventure!
