The Treasure Beyond

by Phoebe Hinkle

Bonnie Febland may be young, but she is still a respected pirate captain in her own right. Her crew is loyal to her, and her ship is a familiar sight in the Caribbean. When she finds a Bible in the bottom of an old sea chest, it drastically affects her entire life. She gives up piracy, correcting her old wrongs and submitting to the law. The change in her is evident.
But what will happen when she meets the man who killed her father? Will she be able to forgive him, or will she succumb to the desire for revenge? Or will he try to kill her too?
Filled with swashbuckling action and rich description, The Treasure Beyond carries its readers back to an era of adventure and derring-do. Excitement awaits on the high seas!

"Discovering what it means to live for Christ is never dull, as you’ll soon see. Storms, duels, sea battles, revenge . . . interwoven with God’s love and forgiveness, it is truly a treasure beyond just a novel." -RC

About the author

Phoebe Hinkle has a passion for good, clean adventure stories that point readers to God. She began writing at an early age and published her first novella when she was fifteen. Although that first book was full of cringe-worthy errors (the main reason why it's not for sale online), it was the gateway to an incredible writing journey that, Lord willing, will continue for the rest of her life.

Phoebe can usually be found with her two cats, her laptop, and a mug of tea or coffee. She loves serving God, playing games with her family, and acting out stories with her friends.

I love stories that include ships and the sea, so I was excited to read this pirate story! I thought the elements of justice, forgiveness, and making restitution were all handled very well, and I enjoyed the colorful cast of characters! I would have liked it even better if there was more history woven in, but that’s just me! Parts of it reminded me of the book Grace Triumphant by Alicia Willis, which is on my favorites list! I’d love to see more sailor stories like this one–ones that are clean and Christian-based and not romances!

I don't usually go for 'pirate' books. I found this one very satisfying, however. The characters seemed human, nobody was too good or too evil to make it unbelievable. Although sometimes the puzzle pieces didn't quite click into place, I would say it's a very enjoyable book.

My twelve-year-old daughter gave this book five stars. It is nearly perfect for teens, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for that age group.

I give it four stars myself because as an adult I found there were a few things about the way it was written that broke my immersion at times.

That said, it was an engaging story and I'd definitely recommend it!
