When Jonathan Rugg receives a mysterious and beautifully-etched ball of ivory from a woman wearing a silver veil, he does not suspect he has stumbled onto an ancient curse. Soon, however, he is attacked by ruthless pirates and forced to flee for his life. Howard Pyle's The Ruby of Kishmoor is a timeless story of greed and adventure, a nonstop swirl of action and intrigue no reader will want to put down.
