Emily Windsnap ends up surrounded by pirates -- and on a life-changing
adventure -- in the eighth installment of the New York Times
best-selling series.
Traveling home by cruise ship should be a relaxing break after Emily's
latest adventure, but things take a turn when the ship is overtaken by a
pirate king and his crew. After the pirates collect everyone's riches,
they steal something even more valuable: Aaron. The pirate king's eldest
son takes Aaron captive, forcing him to help guide the pirates to the
mythical Trident's Treasure. So Emily dives into action and joins the
younger son's crew in hopes of saving Aaron. But while experiencing life
on the waves, Emily is surprised to find herself not only enjoying the
pirate life, but actually bonding with the crew -- especially Sam, the
pirate king's son. Between helping Sam unravel riddles to beat his
brother to the treasure and making sure that her friends are safe, Emily
realizes that she needs to be true to herself. Will she cast aside her
mermaid life to join her new friends, or will she find a way to follow
her own path?
