Chapter 23 Summary

They are greeted by Agor, Devlin’s second-in-command. Jaron and Fink are kept locked up while Agor and Erick discuss the reason for their visit: the promise of a cave full of gold. While waiting in their cell, they are visited by Imogen, who is now working at the pirates’ camp as a servant. Jaron is shocked to see her, but Imogen tells him that she simply guessed that he would be coming to the pirates’ camp, so she got there first. She angrily throws a bucket of water at him before she leaves, but Jaron finds a hidden pin inside it and realizes that she is trying to help him.

Chapter 24 Summary

Agor asks Jaron to prove himself by stealing a meat cleaver from the pirates’ busy kitchen, where Imogen works. Jaron sneaks into the kitchen and takes his friend aside for a moment. She tells him that she understands that he was trying to keep her safe when he made her leave the castle. She also knew that Jaron would go to the pirates so, under Amarinda’s orders, she started working for them to help keep him safe. Once Jaron has successfully retrieved the meat cleaver, Agor takes him to the pirate king.
