Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old David Dolephene has always been fascinated by pirates. Shy and withdrawn, he finds refuge in tales of adventure on the high seas. He gets a little more adventure than he bargained for, however, when he discovers a connection between his family and a man known as the Dolphin, captain of one of the most dangerous pirate ships of the 1600s. Within days, David finds himself on the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands, where he comes into possession of the Dolphin's journal. The journal contains mysterious clues that could lead to hidden treasure. But he has also inherited a mortal enemy who wants only two things: the treasure, and the end of his family's line. About the Author Sean Patrick O'Mordha has been a storyteller since he could walk. He found a lot of satisfaction working as a newspaper journalist in college, but no money, so he obtained a degree in criminal justice and constitutional law and became a law enforcement officer. This career path eventually led him to work as a lead federal enforcement officer and investigator, and he was often called to prosecute cases. During this time he wrote articles for national and international police journals. Upon retirement, Sean changed direction and began concentrating on writing fiction. His Pirate Legacy series begins with this book. Future books in the series continue David's story, juxtaposed with tales of the Dolphin.
