About Flyntlock Bones:

Welcome to the Black Hound – a ship full o the cleverest pirate investigators ya ever set eyes upon. The captain pauses. You OK, lad? Ya gone paler than a full moon.

When Flynn applies for the job of cabin boy on the Black Hound, he doesn’t expect it to be a pirate ship! But soon he’s setting sail for the Seven Seas, on a perilous quest to recover ancient treasure bound by a magical curse.
