1. Author's Note

With chapter 12, the first part of our story ended, so we decided to provide our readers (and those who might choose to start reading from chapter 13) with a summary of chapters 1 to 12. It says everything you need to know about Part I to follow the story from chapter 13.

10 years and several months after the battle at World's End ...

The Cape of the Sinner's Tongue is an impassable strait off the islands of the Caribbean, haunted by a mysterious phantom known only as: The Ghost Raider. The Raider's activities have caused the EITC to double its presence in the Caribbean waters and piracy is at stake once more. With the desire to protect his family and the pirate livelihood, Will Turner, former Captain of the Flying Dutchman, chooses to hunt down the Raider and put a stop to his activities. Despite Captain Teague's apparent dislike of his person, and the ghostly folklore surrounding the Raider, Will leaves Shipwreck Cove on Teague's ship, the Captive Swallow. Elizabeth remains at Shipwreck City to tend to her store and her rambuncous ten year old son, William, but the uneasy peace of the Cove is soon disturbed by a mysterious visitor leading young Will to an injured body. Captain Jack Sparrow has finally returned – with a bullet in his chest.

Though the bullet is successfully removed, Jack's life hangs on a delicate balance between life and death, beneath Elizabeth's watchful gaze. At Jack's bedside, Captain Teague reveals a little of his mysterious past; the story of how he met the daughter of a Marques who later became Jack's mother. While Jack fights the perilious waters of recovery, Will sails into the Cape of the Sinner's Tongue, almost loses a man and is reuinted with his father, who has succeeded him as Captain of the Flying Dutchman. The reunion is shortlived after Bootstrap Bill insinuates that he may know the Raider's identity. Bound by a mysterious promise, he can only reveal that his son ought to begin his search in a well known port—Tortuga.
