The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller
‘I adored it’ – Santa Montefiore, bestselling author of Wait For Me
A sweeping and epic love story, The Ghost Ship is the swashbuckling third volume in Kate Mosse's enthralling series, The Joubert Family Chronicles.
The Barbary Coast, 1621. A mysterious vessel floats silently on the water — its hull splintered and its sails tattered and burnt. For months the Ghost Ship has hunted pirates to liberate enslaved prisoners. Now it, too, finds itself hunted.
But the ship��s crew hides a secret, and the stakes could not be higher. The bravest among them are not what they seem: if arrested, they will hang for their alleged crimes. Can they survive their journey and escape their fate?
A tale of adventure and buccaneering, love and revenge, stolen fortunes, piracy and hidden secrets on the high seas, The Ghost Ship is the third instalment in The Joubert Family Chronicles. The series concludes with The Map of Bones.
