Three Thieves

"When the Sea Wolf's crew pulls a badly injured Captain Drake out of the water, the tables are turned. Will Dessa have her nemesis thrown overboard? Or can she trust him enough to join forces against the treacherous Greyfalcon? Is it true Drake has seen Jared? Or is her brother dead, like Greyfalcon told her? Fraught with danger and brimming with intrigue and surprise, Dessa's quest has brought her face-to-face with all manner of evil--mercenary pirates, a murderous queen and a pair of black-hearted brothers thirsty for vengeance. Will she ever be reunited with her long-lost twin?"--Back cover.

"The Island of Astaroth--"The Dark Island"--is a legend among sailors. It's rumored a demon lives there, and that it holds more riches than anyone could fathom. But no one has ever laid eyes on it. Certain that her long-lost brother is being held on the Dark Island against his will, Dessa hires a ragtag group of smugglers to take her there aboard their ship. But it's a journey fraught with danger and treachery, and the outcome seems less and less certain with each passing moment..."--Back cover.

While Dessa and her two companions find refuge in a stable, the owner of the inn is making a deal with the smugglers and the Captain Drake and the royal guard ride in to the yard, causing chases, captures, mishaps, and narrow escapes.

Remembering his dark past as a young knight in the service of King Roderick, Captain Drake investigates long-ago mysteries in order to track down three thieves who may hold the key to finding Dessa's missing twin brother.

On the run from the Queen's Dragons and struggling to track down Dessa's missing twin brother, Dessa, Topper, and Fisk inadvertently rescue a prince and find that their actions have placed royal kingdoms and a romance at risk.

Fourteen-year-old acrobat, Dessa Redd and the circus strongman, Fisk, are recruited by Topper, the circus juggler, for the job of robbing the royal treasury of Kingsbridge, which sets off a series of adventures around the world in order to find Dessa's twin brother, who was kidnapped when they were young.

"As the three thieves trek further west in search of Greyfalcon, they stumble on a kidnapping in progress. Dessa daringly rescues the victim--who turns out to be the crown prince of Medoria! The thieves are still on the run from the Queen's Dragons, so being openly celebrated by a neighboring kingdom seems like a bad idea. But it also holds a rare opportunity. The prince--who grows more and more devoted to Dessa--promises his help on her quest. However, he and his father, the King, may not see eye-to-eye."--Publisher description.
