Summary:
The Sisters Brothers meets Master and Commander in Robert Hough's rollicking and raucous new historical
novel
. The year is 1664, and Benny Wand, a young thief and board game hustler, is arrested in London for illegal gaming. Deported to the city of Port Royal, Jamaica, known as "the wickedest city on earth," Wand is forced by his depleted circumstances to join a raid on the Spanish city of Villahermosa. The mission is a perilous success, and Wand attracts the attention of the mission's leader, an up-and-coming Welsh seaman, Captain
Henry
Morgan
, whose raids on Spanish strongholds are funded by the British government. While embarking on a campaign in the Caribbean, Wand and
Morgan
develop an unlikely friendship through a shared love of chess. As
Morgan
is corrupted by his increasingly sordid attacks on Spanish cities, he slowly becomes Wand's greatest enemy. To defeat his former ally, Wand embarks on a strategic battle of wits and must help
Morgan
in the most savage and unexpected way possible.
