Like generations of her family before her, young Dunstana Darkstone is a pirate. And since someone has to look after Dunstana, her big sister Kat is more or less a pirate by association. Kat may not be thrilled by this arrangement, but it’s what big sisters are for, and it gives her plenty of chances to practice her own adventuring skills. Join the Sisters Darkstone as they (mis)adventure through the lands of Realmgard, facing off against cunning ghosts, ambitious rivals, and dangerous bandits. Whatever Realmgard has to throw at them, the Sisters Darkstone will face it together. The first three Realmgard stories, together at last! This handy single-volume edition collects Fryte’s Gold, The Treasure of Oake Island, and The Bandits of Goldharbour, with eye-catching all-new illustrations.

Today’s the day Kat Darkstone has been waiting for! Today’s the day Kat begins her Adventuring Licence test!

But Kat isn’t coming unprepared. Her entire family has been helping her train for her foray into the Valley of Appraisal. Best of all, Kat has the assistance of her magically-inclined friend Scarlet, an adventurer in her own right. All in all, Kat has a good feeling about this.

The Sisters Darkstone return for another adventure. With a treasure map in hand, and an archaeologist uncle and genius cousin in tow, Kat and Dunstana set their sights on Oake Island to claim the buried treasure of the great pirate William Newgate. But the Darkstones aren’t the only ones with a map, and will soon find themselves on a collision course with the ambitious captain of the Red Wolf Pirates.
