      Money ships were wrecks of treasure-galleons that were belched up from the bottom of the sea after tremendous storms, yielding doubloons and all other kinds of precious treasure ... gold bars and bullion, chests of brilliant gems. Though just a story Jerusha Gardiner heard in childhood, it led to a strange and convoluted quest in far-off and exotic seas, triggered by the launching of the ship Huntress...

      On a shimmering morning on the Moluccan Sea young Jerusha is sent by her father, Captain Michael Gardiner, to pay a call on a mysterious brig that had arrived in the night. Not only is the dashing craft more piratical than Jess had expected but the man who hailed her as she clambered on board is as flamboyant as the vessel he commands — a very tall and very thin gentleman with jet-black hair that grew down his cheeks, wearing a green waistcoat with a matching bow tied at the throat of his white ruffled shirt. He may be a comical figure, but this encounter with Captain Rochester was to change her life and all those around her ... because of his obsession with pirate treasure.

      Condemned to death by the Sultan of Brunei, Nelson O'Cain seeks to save himself with a tattoo of a dragon -- a rampant dragon with wings outstretched, the same dragon that was carved on a obelisk on a small island at the mouth of a river in Borneo. Not only was the pillar supposed to be a man who had been turned to stone, but the carved dragon was a vital clue to where Hochman the pirate buried a great treasure. Captain Michael Gardiner and his seafaring daughter Jerusha both believe that the Dragon Stone has magical powers, but it is up to Nelson to solve the puzzle ... if he can.
