Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous pirate leader. The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

Wessex, Britannia, 642 A.D. Iris, Princess of Wessex, has run away from an unwanted marriage. Britannia will never be the same. With the fall of the Roman Empire centuries earlier, Britannia has been left to the hands of warring kings, and none is more feared or hated than Penda, the ruthless tyrant of Mercia. Determined to squash all opposition, Penda has threatened to destroy the small kingdom of Wessex unless the king hands over his eldest daughter Iris in marriage to Penda's nephew. When Iris discovers these secret plans and threats, she runs away, and thus is sent on a whirlwind adventure across Britannia, accompanied by, among others, her worry-wart sister, a farm boy named Charr, and a mysterious messenger who isn't what he seems to be. Their goal? To appeal to the one force capable of stopping Penda's cruel regime, King Oswald of Northumbria. If they fail, Iris loses her freedom, her future, and the lives of those she holds dear.
