The Lighthouse of Alexandria
To say that Blackbeard the Pirate is in trouble would be untrue.
TROUBLE is waking up in a small boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean to the realization that your oar is missing. Or, swimming in murky, shark-infested waters when you suddenly feel a bump against your leg. In such circumstances there is still hope�hope that the cord you tied to your oar is still tied to the boat. Hope that your friend, who�s been missing for the last 30 seconds, by the way, is swimming somewhere beneath you trying to tickle your feet. Perhaps he missed and bumped your leg instead. At least�that�s what you hope�
No, IN PERIL would be a better way to describe Blackbeard�s situation, and it will take his son, Wesley Teach, to save him. Only, how does a 14 year-old rescue the most dreadful pirate of his time? Wesley needs help, but sometimes help requires an agreement�a promise between two people. �You do this for me, and I�ll save your father.� That sort of thing. But, Wesley�s agreement isn�t with a person; it involves the mythological god�Kronos. And from there, the next 6 nights turn extraordinarily complicated.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria describes the time travel adventure of Wesley Teach and his quest for a scythe fragment that will save Wesley's father and return the world to the Golden Age--a period void of war and death. Only the scythe will restore Kronos to his supremacy over the gods and end the violent battle in which Blackbeard is entangled.
Thus, Wesley abandons the pirate life of early 18th century and journeys 2000 years to ancient Alexandria, Egypt. Once there, he must use skills akin to his father's pirating ways to reach the lighthouse and claim the scythe fragment. Aided by a stew of unlikely companions and the ability to wield weapons in their most potent form, Wesley confronts sea people and deadly creatures loyal to Kronos' son, Poseidon. But can he fulfill the quest without becoming what he so horribly detests in his father�a murderer?
