The Manor at Pirate’s Point

A thrilling coming-of-age adventure packed with buried secrets, family legacy, and high-seas excitement-perfect for fans of pirates, mystery, and found family.

Fifteen-year-old James Shipman never imagined his life would change the moment he stepped foot inside a courtroom. Or that he’d discover he’s the rightful heir to a sprawling coastal estate, complete with its own pirate ship. When the truth about his past surfaces, James is thrust into a world of mystery, legacy, and responsibility he never asked for.

As he settles into his new life at Pirate’s Point Manor, James uncovers a centuries-old family history that spans generations of seafarers, warriors, and visionaries. But shadows of betrayal linger. Not everyone is happy to see James reclaim his birthright-and someone will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

With help from his fiercely loyal friend Alysa, a steadfast guardian named Sebastian, and a growing crew of allies, James must rise to the challenge. From sword training and ship-building to unlocking haunting dreams and cryptic family memories, the young heir begins to realize that becoming a leader isn’t about having all the answers-it’s about having the courage to ask the right questions.

Full of action, emotion, and a dash of the supernatural, The Manor at Pirate’s Point is a heart-pounding debut that sails straight into the reader’s imagination.
