Action
When a captured Barbary pirate saves his neck with a tall
tale of a fabled mountain of gold, Captain Matthew Quinton
has his doubts. But King Charles II can't resist the chance
to outstrip the Dutch with a limitless source of wealth.
With the devious pirate O'Dwyer in tow, Quinton embarks on a
voyage beyond the map's edge, still convinced that the
mountain is mere legend. But as attempts to sabotage his
mission draw closer to the mark, he begins to wonder . . . Back in England, the king has arranged a wedding between
Matthew's elder brother, the Earl of Ravensden, and a
mysterious lady rumored to have murdered her previous two
husbands. Resolved not to fail his meddlesome sovereign, and
to return home in time to protect his family and his home,
Captain Quinton approaches the coast of Africa with a
troubled mind.
