Roaming the Mediterranean on sailboats and hunting down
monsters is the only life sixteen-year-old Indi and his siblings have ever
known.
He never loved it, but now that his parents are gone—recently vanished
at sea during a hunt—it's harder and harder to fight his desire to escape. He's
constantly weighing his need for freedom against his ferocious love for his
siblings and the temptation of his parents' journal, which contains directions
to a possible treasure. Maybe it's something valuable enough to distract
seventeen-year-old Beleza from her obsession with hunting down the monster that
killed their parents. Something that would save the little kids from a life at
sea that's turning Oscar into a thieving pirate and wasting Zulu's brilliant
six-year-old mind. Something that could give Indi a normal life.
