The Incredible Adventures of the Expeditor of the Secret Chancellery

The Secret Chancellery does not forgive mistakes—and the task that has fallen to the courier seems, in fact, impossible. Disguised as a merchant, he infiltrates a ship to uncover the mystery of a nobleman’s journey and that of his family. But just as the intrigues begin to intertwine into a tight knot, pirates launch an attack on the vessel…

Captivity, despair, escape—and soon former passengers become Robinsons on an uninhabited island. Here there is neither the familiar authority nor the protection of the law: only rocks, jungles, and enemies prowling nearby. The heroes must build a fortress out of the ruins of hope, fend off savages and pirates alike, and—above all—preserve a secret that may cost them their lives.

Will the courier be able to carry out the order of the Secret Chancellery when every day is a fight for survival? And what price will they have to pay to return home?
