Day of the Shadow

Legends of the Brethren Court #5

by Rob Kidd, Walt Disney Company (Creator)

An army of shadows has been amassed. Its one goal: to destroy the Pirate Lords for their Shadow Master--an alchemist who has created a special gold that grants him unfathomable power. But the soothsayer, Tia Dalma has other plans for the Lords and cannot allow them to be destroyed. So she calls on the one man who can turn the tide--Captain Jack Sparrow...
Volume Five finds Jack and his crew--as well as some unwelcome tagalongs-en route to France in search of the rare and powerful Shadow Gold. Jack soon discovers that he is being trailed by a mysterious band of misfits who call themselves The Fourth Estate. Are they agents of the East India Company, pirates, in league with the Shadow Lord, or something far more terrible?

So glad I was able to find the conclusion to the series at least in ebook form. Will be sorry not to have this in my hard copy collection with the other books, but glad I don't have to wonder forever how the story ends! B&N online, thank you for providing me with my pirates. :-)

Cool series, liked the lore about the Brethren court, one of the most interesting aspects of the third movie. Story is nice with an interesting villain. Only character I didn't like was Marcella (who in this final book was mostly absent). I think she could have been written differently or with less prominence to make her parts a bit more bareable.

Rob Kidd's book is a thrilling maritime adventure that captivates readers with its vivid storytelling. Set against the backdrop of the high seas, Kidd weaves a tale of pirates, treasures, and daring escapades. The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique charm and flaws. The author's descriptive prose paints a vivid picture of the salty air and the creaking of wooden ships. While the plot is fast-paced, there's a depth to the narrative that keeps readers engaged. Kidd's ability to blend action, humor, and suspense makes this book a must-read for those seeking an exhilarating journey on the open waters.
