{"product_id":"9781452528595","title":"Saladin's Sword: A Papal Treasure","description":"Flying a Dutch flag, the Vandetta is parked alongside the dock in the port of Kingston, Jamaica. On board, meeting secretly, are four pirate captains—three former royal navy captains and a Duke of the Realm—making a plan to exact revenge and retribution on those responsible for their loss of income, status, position, and reputation. The four compiled a list of the people who had caused them even the slightest provocation during the last twenty years, focusing on those who had forced them into the cut-throat world of piracy.  Fierce battles ensue and in the process they capture a princess and steal her dowry and gold bullion from a ship in the dead of night. They also commandeer three Spanish treasure ships and, using the melted gold, they commit a major forgery by selling the gilded gold to greedy, corrupt government officials.  A tale of the high seas, Saladin’s Sword narrates a story of treachery, adventure, and betrayal.","brand":"Balboa Press AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165438689520,"sku":"9781452528595","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452528595_p0.jpg?v=1763847323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452528595","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
