The Locke Institute has only three rules:
But some men can't be told what to do.
Rooker Flynn is a rebellious, hot-tempered pirate who never met a rule he didn’t break. He wants his freedom, and he will stop at nothing to get it.
But the Headmistress is determined to break Rooker's spirit; she will use bounty hunters, giant poisonous spiders, and an arsenal of dark secrets to keep her pupils in line.
Good thing Rooker knows one student who is smarter than all the rest put together; a kid genius who knows strange mysteries that are not of this world.
Working together, Rooker's bravado and the kid's brains might be enough to outwit their captor and stage a daring escape...or die trying.
__________
This book has sharper teeth than The Legend of Black Jack, but then again, so does Rooker Flynn. A suspenseful page-turner, this is a quick read that you will not be able to put down until the very last word.
Genre: Fantasy
