Pirates of the Seven Seas (Book One: Gromund's Tales)

Pirates of the Seven Seas, Book One: Gromund's Tales, is the debut children's adventure fantasy novel co-authored by 11 year old Ravi Struck and 12 year old Josh Weisman. Book one in the series introduces us to the main protagonist, Rick who was captured by Captain Cutlass of the Southern Pirate Clan at the age of four. When he turns 18, Rick embarks on a quest across the seven seas of Reefia with Captain Cutlass and his pirate crew to collect the fabled seven medallions that are said to be the key to unlocking the Circle of Justice, a treasure-filled island with a portal to the world of mystics who possess magical powers. The medallions are guarded by formidable sea creatures—Kraken, Lava Dragon, King Claw, Golden Bird, Wallruster, Quetzal, and Thundra Hydra—who engage Rick and the pirates in epic battles. Each battle takes them closer to collecting all the medallion. But Cutlass and his crew are not the only ones searching for the medallions, so too is the menacing Captain Blackblade of the Western Pirate Clan, wielder of the powerful Ebony Blade. Along the way, Rick learns secrets about his past, forges friendships and comes to understand the meaning of family. Filled with action, humor and unexpected twists and turns, this book is sure to captivate children of all ages.
