Brothers Pimm

They've made their way into the history books with their daring raid on the treasure fleet, but recovering their gold from the bottom of the channel is a Herculean. Will the Brethren escape with the treasure of their lifetimes, or will Fadrique de Toledo sweep them from Tortuga's shores like so much rubbish?

They have the magic relics of the Order, now all that remains is to secure their gold with one last desperate play against the treasure fleet. With Piet Hein's attack just two years ago the Spanish are ready for nearly anything--but the Brethren of the Coast have been preparing too...

They've escaped with the reliquary of the Order of Calatrava, but their riches remain uncaptured--the crew, reunited, take a moment to recuperate and check on their fallen comrade Edge. With only a few scant hours until they reach their ambush point, it won't be long before they know if they'll be in the history books with Piet Hein or dead at the bottom of the Tortuga channel.

With the Spirit in the Wind banished to inside Thomas' mind, he's down for the count--and the rest of the crew have one last chance to make it away with their cursed treasure. And as Tarquin and Jenny board Goodrich's ship to end Winthrop's spell, Captain Crowe still lies poisoned and paralyzed in a pile of burning rags waiting for death...

The Spirit in the Wind is here--bound to Winthrop's will to steal away the very drop Sorrowful aimed to return to it! As Mary glimpses a sight of their true quarry in Thomas' memory, it's up to Sorrowful Barks to keep the Spanish crew fooled and fight off a demon besides. Meanwhile Captain Crowe comes face to face with the sneering Goodrich and is offered a bargain--one he can neither refuse nor accept...

Barks has barely survived the first assault of young Winthrop, but his second blow is bearing down on the treasure fleet--the Spirit in the Wind in the flesh! They have precious few moments to seize control of the treasure and escape, while Captain Crowe wrangles with Goodrich's interloping fleet. Meanwhile Mary has descended into the depths of Horatio's mind--and to the sunken city of Atlantis, where the King reigns.

With the Calatrava captain's memories in hand, Sorrowful and Thomas get ready to make their bid for the treasures of the Mano de Dios--all while Mary plumbs the depths of Thomas' mind to ferret out Horatio and keep him from taking the drop of demon's blood from under their noses. Captain Crowe struggles to keep his fleet in position against the oncoming Rosicrucian fleet, while Tarquin makes a bold command action of his own from his fetters aboard the stolen submarine...

With the captain dead and the drop of demon's blood in hand, Thomas Edge and Sorrowful Barks are on a desperately short clock to conceal their crimes and make their escape--and find out what happened to Mary! The Caliban has made it away with precious minutes between them and the main bulk of the treasure fleet... but with a ragged crew and a crumbling ship. With little time to lose and two Atlantean craft closing in, Tarquin boards their stolen submarine and takes charge of the situation as only he can.

Their ambush was successful, but surviving their victory was nearly more than the Brethren's armada could weather. Now Mary and the rest of the crew are ready to infiltrate the Mano de Dios to steal away the drop before Crowe's fleet is brought up to engage them--but just as Tarquin learned from the treachery of the dolphins, few things go completely according to plan...
