Jonathan Rugg is a man of business and peace, more comfortable with ledgers than legends. But when a trade mission takes this steadfast young Quaker from Philadelphia to the vibrant ports of Jamaica, he is suddenly plunged into a world of high-stakes intrigue. Drawn into the orbit of a mysterious lady with a silver veil, Jonathan finds himself the unwitting guardian of a prize that men have died for: the fabled Ruby of Kishmoor.
From the shadows of the notorious pirate Captain Keitt to the treacherous encounters with one-eyed gentlemen and broken-nosed sailors, Jonathan must navigate a path through greed and betrayal. Yet, amidst the salt-scented air and the lure of immense wealth, his greatest weapon remains his unwavering integrity. Howard Pyle masterfully transforms a tale of stolen treasure into a compelling exploration of character, proving that the most valiant heart is often the one that stays true to its principles.
Adorned with Pyle's own evocative and masterful illustrations, this edition brings the exotic mystery of the Caribbean to vivid life. It is a living story that delights the imagination while grounding the reader in the timeless value of honor and the quiet strength of an honest spirit.
The Ruby of Kishmoor is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle's legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
