Two intrepid girls hunt for a legendary treasure on the deadly high
seas in this YA remix of the classic adventure novel Treasure
Island. 1826. The sun is setting on the golden age of piracy, and
the legendary Dragon Fleet, the scourge of the South China Sea, is
no more. Its ruthless leader, a woman known only as the Head of the
Dragon, is now only a story, like the ones Xiang has grown up with
all her life. She desperately wants to prove her worth, especially
to her mother, a shrewd businesswoman who never seems to have
enough time for Xiang. Her father is also only a story, dead at sea
before Xiang was born. Her single memento of him is a pendant she
always wears, a simple but plain piece of gold jewelry. But the
pendant's true nature is revealed when a mysterious girl named Anh
steals it, only to return it to Xiang in exchange for her help in
decoding the tiny map scroll hidden inside. The revelation that
Xiang's father sailed with the Dragon Fleet and tucked away this
secret changes everything. Rumor has it that the legendary Head of
the Dragon had one last treasure--the plunder of a thousand
ports--that for decades has only been a myth, a fool's journey.
Xiang is convinced this map could lead to the fabled treasure.
Captivated with the thrill of adventure, she joins Anh and her
motley crew off in pursuit of the island. But the girls soon find
that the sea--and especially those who sail it--are far more
dangerous than the legends led them to believe.
