Part of Montague Siblings, book 3
First published 2021
Adrian Montague finds his world shattered when his mother dies unexpectedly. The young heir struggles with debilitating anxiety and fears he inherited the mental illness that plagued his mother for years. Among her possessions, Adrian discovers a fragment of a broken spyglass that reveals an impossible truth: he has older siblings he never knew existed. The relic leads him to Henry "Monty" Montague, who has been living quietly in London. Together, the brothers set out to find their sister Felicity and unlock the secrets the spyglass holds. Their search takes them from the pirate courts of Rabat to Portuguese islands, through Amsterdam's canals, and into the frozen Arctic waters. But the Montague siblings face more than family mysteries. A ghostly legend emerges to threaten their entire bloodline, forcing them into one last dangerous adventure that will test everything they've discovered about themselves and each other.
