Before the Black Pearl, there was a teenage stowaway named Jack Sparrow... Since running away from home, Jack Sparrow has seen his share of strange, bizarre, and wonderful things. He's had a taste of freedom and found that he loves and desires it more than any material treasure he's ever laid his hands on. Now it seems that the freedom of an entire race of creatures is at stake, and Jack worries that if he doesn't fight on the side of the downtrodden, all will be lost, including his own ability to live freely. In this final volume in the series of stories about Jack's earliest adventures, the young scalawag will learn a thing or two about freedom and face an important decision that will affect the rest of his life.
