Plot Overview

The Team are celebrating a court victory in Pondicherry, India allowing them exclusive rights to recover a pirate wreck. In the street outside a man calls Judsons's name. Turning they find him being attacked. Fending off the man's attackers, they find him fatally wounded and beside the body The Lost Sword of Tamberline wrapped in a cloth map.

On the map is an island and from satellite mapping, Gabriel identifies the location.

On arrival at the island Judson is expected as "The Chosen One, Pirate Killer" and he is shown a painting of himself together with a Princess bride defeating pirates and extortionists that are exploiting the islanders Ruby mine.

Realising they had mistaken his court victory over a pirate wreck and the Lost Sword was only a ruse to lure him to the island Judson refuses to help, but another death convinces him he has to help the islanders fight back.

To convince the islanders of the prophecy in the painting to be true he has to marry the local Princess but she is not all she seems and betrayal is in the air.
