Legends of the Brethren Court: Day of the Shadow

Publisher's Summary
An army of shadows has been amassed. Its one goal: to destroy the Pirate Lords for their Shadow Lord—an alchemist who has created a special gold, Shadow Gold that grants him unfathomable power. But the soothsayer, Tia Dalma has other plans for the Lords and cannot allow them to be destroyed. So she calls on the one man who can turn the tide—Captain Jack Sparrow.

Summary
Volume Five finds Jack and his crew—as well as some unwelcome tagalongs—en route to France in search of the rare and powerful Shadow Gold. Jack soon discovers that he is being trailed by a mysterious band of misfits who call themselves the Fourth Estate. Are they agents of the East India Trading Company, pirates in league with the Shadow Lord, or something far more terrible?
