Somewhere, hidden in the middle of Germany, a clandestine organization called by the locals “The Bane of the Snake” has spent the last twenty years recruiting and training Jewish children to make them able to kill, steal and obey everything and everyone.
Three kids, Balatka, Kurt and Ezekiel spent their own life serving the masked man who say what everyone in the Order have to do; but, one day, Balatka decides that she’ll do what she feels right. When she leaves her “safety world”, Kurt and Ezekiel, her old partners, are assigned to hunt down and kill “the girl who stoles the boss’ ruby”.
The ruby, a mystic and mysterious gem that comes from Africa through a gorillas’ dealer, arouses the attention of many people: one of the Order’s prisoner, two Germans’ protected men, ivory traffickers and mercenaries spies.
In a source for blood and power, the spies will discover that the jewel has a value that they not understand- without see anything, every limbs of the Order are used as paws in a mercenary scheme infinitely greater.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
