This is a fast-paced, blood-curdling read with short chapters perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Back on The Diablo, Connor is caught up in plans for a daring heist, devised by pirate brothers Molucco and Barbarro Wrathe. Connor is assigned the role of protector of Molucco's wayward nephew, Moonshine Wrathe. Moonshine proves a loose cannon and Connor is forced to commit an act of violence, which shocks him to his core.
Meanwhile, newly sired Vampirate Stukeley finds himself wrestling between the life he has left behind and the dark realm opening up before him.
“Totally original…I wish I’d had this idea.” Anthony Horowitz
“Justin Somper has brought new terrors to the blood-drenched seas – bravo!” Darren Shan
“A clever combination of two genres that could make it as popular as Pirates of the Caribbean.” Amanda Craig, The Times
“Pirates, vampires and an inordinate amount of blood and gore… there is plenty here to entertain and it definitely stimulates wider questions about wellbeing, duty and conscience.” Books for Keeps
Justin Somper is the award-winning author of eight novels for young people, all with a focus on high-octane fantasy adventure, driven by strong, complex characters.
Justin’s Vampirates sequence comprises, to date, six main novels and has been published in 35 countries and 25 languages. The first title, Demons of the Ocean , has sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and Ireland alone, whilst the sequence as a whole has sold over a million worldwide. World Book Day title Vampirates: Dead Deep debuted in the Top Ten Bestsellers list. The Ultimate Book Guide says , “Vampirates are the perfect adventure stories, rollicking, romantic and utterly page-turningly breathtaking.”
Justin is also the author of Allies and Assassins and its sequel A Conspiracy of Princes . The two books, published globally, are set in the fantasy kingdom of Archenfield, where Prince Anders has been assassinated and his brother Jared, aged just sixteen, has taken the throne. Publishers Weekly noted, “Somper breathes life into the inner workings of his fantasy kingdom, which feels like a lost European territory,” whilst Booktrust acclaimed “this clever blend of Game of Thrones-style fantasy with a classic murder mystery plot.”
