JIM MORGAN AND THE KING OF THIEVES (Book 1)

James Matlack Raney

A gypsy curse ... A shadow pirate ... An ancient treasure ... An adventure beyond mystery and magic! Eleven year-old Jim Morgan once had a home, a life of comfort and a future full of promise. But all that changed the night his father was murdered. Now Jim is on the run from his father's enemies, a wicked count and his vengeful son, and at the same time, trying to decipher the secret to the last mystery his father left him - the hidden location of an ancient treasure. But standing in Jim's way is an army of pickpockets, led by a master criminal, known only as the King of Thieves. And around every corner, Jim finds dangerous foes, new allies and more magic than he ever knew existed. If Jim can survive, he may discover a hero hidden within himself and a destiny beyond his wildest dreams...
