Never Ever: A Tale of Captain Hook

You know the story of that infamous pirate, the one so haunted by the tick-tock of the clock that he grew to resent the Lost Boys, who never had to grow up. Before that tale, though, was another: of a baby stripped of his chance to become a Lost Boy. Of a boy who longed to return to Never Land.

Of a young man who resented his London lifestyle so much that he left it to join the crew of a pirate ship. And of a pirate-turned-captain determined to find his way back to that land of perpetual childhood. The only place he ever felt like he belonged. But returning to Never Land comes at a price, especially for a man who has had no choice but to grow up.

This newest instalment in Serena Valentino’s twisted Villains series invites readers into the rise and fall of an unlikely pirate who was, perhaps, just a lost boy all along.
