In seventeenth-century Cornwall, Jude discovers he is a finder, gifted with the uncanny ability to sense hidden gold. After his parents die suddenly, he leaves home, but is captured by a sinister one-eyed sea captain. Soon Jude is swept into a dangerous adventure involving Barbary pirates, slave-stealers and a telepathic cat. Along the way, he meets a family of gold-hungry djinns, trapped among the damned. To free them, Jude must face terrifying magic, deadly enemies and the secrets of his own power.
