Captain Redbeard's adventures continue as he searches for the legendary Valley of Gold alongside a band of unlikely allies.
Long-distance relationships are difficult in the best of circumstances—moreso for an infamous pirate captain and a commander in the Imperial Navy. Captain Redbeard—Quint Thatch, to his friends—and Commander Vanessa Delacort are determined to make it work, but after months of secret rendezvouses and clandestine dates, a future together is beginning to look more and more unlikely—unless one of them is willing to give up their career.
Called to a secret meeting at the freeport of Haven between the Navy and the piratical Council of Captains, Quint and Vanessa discover that the Navy is offering to grant pardons to Quint and the other pirates in exchange for helping the Empire discover the legendary Valley of Gold. Seeing their chance to be together openly, Quint and Vanessa set out in search of the Valley, alongside an unlikely band of allies: Quint’s best friend and former first mate Ophelia, a daring explorer from Ophelia’s past, an Imperial diplomat, and the charismatic leader of the Pirate Republic of Haven.
Together, they embark on a journey through deadly swamps and up roaring rivers, battling meddlesome mutineers and perilous wildlife. But can they trust the Navy to keep its word, or will Quint and Vanessa be forced to choose between each other and their careers?
The third book in the Son of a Sailor series, Enemy of the Empire combines the riverboat adventures of The African Queen with the hijinks of The Road to El Dorado and the found family of Our Flag Means Death.
