NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • This swashbuckling novel tells the tale of a boy who grew up—one of Disney’s most infamous villains: Captain Hook.

There was a time when James was a very brave soul, and one of the most feared and respected pirates to sail the Seven Seas…

Before Peter Pan and Wendy. Before the Lost Boys. There was just a boy named James who wanted to get back to Never Land. As a baby, James Bartholomew fell out of his pram and was taken to Never Land. James is claimed by his parents just shy of seven days—after which he would have officially become a Lost Boy.

Once he returns to London, he never stops thinking about Never Land. As he grows up, he hates his life in London, and everything to do with growing up and eventually becoming a gentleman. So he seeks a position on the ship of the infamous pirate, Blackbeard. On Blackbeard's ship he learns to be a cutthroat pirate, and eventually becomes captain of his own ship, which James is determined to sail to Never Land.

With the help of the Odd Sisters and a bit of magic, he just might get his wish. But returning to Never Land comes at a price—and now that he's grown up, the whole world seems to be rooting for his demise…
Serena Valentino has been weaving tales that combine mythos and guile for the past decade. She has earned critical acclaim in both the comic and horror domains, where she is known for her unique style of storytelling, bringing her readers into exquisitely frightening worlds filled with terror, beauty, and extraordinary protagonists.
