Opening Lines:

"Papa, I'm scared!" the little girl cried out as she slid awkwardly across the deck. Before she could regain her balance, she crashed into her father's arms.

"Oh, Dolphin!" he said, shielding her from the sheets of rain and sea spray. "What are you doing up here?"

She looked up at him. "I heard a monster out in the sea!"

Isle of Swords (High Seas Adventures, Book 1)
by Wayne Thomas Batson

A young lad awakens on an island, alone and brutally injured, with no memory of his past.

Captain Declan Ross searched for riches that will free him and his headstrong daughter, Anne, from the piracy business forever. . .

Bartholomew Thorne, an infamously ruthless pirate, seeks to destroy Ross and any who stand in his way of the legendary treasure hidden by a mysterious order of monks.  With these intriguing characters and many more, Wayne Thomas Batson weaves a spell-binding adventure filled with high-seas drama where battles rage, storms brew, a long-dormant volcano awakens, and a sea creature slithers in the deep as pirates race for a cliff-top fortress.

Opening Lines:

Dead leaves swirled across the cold stone as Cat approached the deepest corner of the empty cobblestone courtyard. He could feel the sentinels watching from hidden places within the surrounding walls and towers. His eyes darted about for any sign of a threat. Behind the ever-sleeping volcano, the sun struggled to midday height in the steel-gray sky.

​Without warning, a fierce cry came from the parapets above. 

Isle of Fire (High Seas Adventures, Book 2)
by Wayne Thomas Batson

Brace yourself for a thrilling high-seas adventure and dare to set sail for the Isle of Fire.

A great explosion rocked the crowded harbor. The ferocious blaze engulfed ship after ship expanding the circle of destruction in mere heartbeats. The fire rain had been unleashed.

As Cat’s memory returns, he realizes that he has lived two very different lives. Now he must choose whether to return to the ways of his notorious father and join the evil Merchant, or defy the Merchant and risk his life to save his friends.

​The best-selling Isle of Swords adventure continues in Isle of Fire as ancient mariners rise from legend and cut an all-too-real swath of destruction across the Atlantic. The newly formed Wolf Fleet scours the Caribbean, hunting the pirates they once called comrades. And in the pitiless winds of a monstrous hurricane, whole fleets will be blasted apart and devoured.

Opening Lines:

"You've got a lot of books for a nine-year-old, yep." Amy Pitsitakis pushed round-framed glasses up the bridge of her nose. Her owlish green eyes sparked with something close to envy as she edged along the vast bookcase in her young friend's room. "And to think...people sometimes call me​ a bookworm." 

Isle of Stars (High Seas Adventures, Book 3)
by Wayne Thomas Batson

The wedding of Griffin "Cat" Thorne and Anne Ross is on! Or is it?

When Dredd's ship, The Red Corsair, levels a Brethren monastery, Declan Ross and the crew of The Robert Bruce are called upon to pursue Father Carroll and maintain his safety at all costs. The hunt for Father Carroll is on between Ross and Dredd. At stake: the lives of everyone involved and a treasure worth three times the world. For Father Carroll alone knows the location of The Isle of Stars, and he knows its secrets.
