la prima guerra mondiale e alle porte, quando il catamarano del pirata rasputin salva un naufrago destinato a morte certa: qualcuno l?ha legato mani e piedi a una zattera e l?ha spinto alla deriva tra le onde del pacifico. quell?uomo ha un nome destinato a entrare nella leggenda: corto maltese. che cosa ha fatto per meritarsi una pena tanto crudele? che cosa si nasconde dietro il suo sguardo enigmatico? se lo chiedono anche pandora e cain, due ragazzi di una ricca famiglia australiana, finiti per caso nelle mani di rasputin. ancora non sanno che quell?incontro segnera per sempre le loro vite, insieme a quelle di milioni di lettori.
