The Shadow: The Haunting Adventures Of Ignacio Finkleberry Volume Ii

It had been a year since the spirits of Ignacio Finkleberry and the famed pirate, Captain Blackbeard, joined forces to collect the Souls of the Dead. Together, they wandered Redemption's Road, in search of lost souls; while simultaneously pursuing the spirit of Ignacio's father, Jedediah Finkleberry.Along the way, they had many ghostly adventures wrestling with the lost souls of the dead. Some whose pockets and pouches were filled with coins, representing the sins of the unrepentant; others simply lost looking for a way home. Their roles were simple. Ignacio's honest love for all would convince them to progress forward toward either Prison or Paradise. For those destined for Prison, Captain Blackbeard would herd them like cattle to the ports filled with the ships that would sail them there. They filled Blackbeard's Queen's Revenge, plus two additional ships, simply to keep up with demand.Blackbeard's treasure grew with coins reserved for the fabled Boatman, who collected the fares of the unrepentant. They drew close to Jedediah, several times, thanks to information from Damian, Horatio, and Mercutio, three Scabbards from The Shadow; employed by Captain Blackbeard. But every time, Jedediah would slip away, returning to the body of the man he possessed.Rejected by the spirit of his deceased wife, Gabriella, Jedediah had fallen for a young woman named Maggie Ferguson. She had bound his war wounds in a desperate effort to keep him alive. But her efforts were to no avail. Upon Jedediah's death, she had met and fell in love with a young blacksmith, named Jack Wellsby.Jedediah became wickedly jealous. He had to have her to himself. Jealous and enraged, he possessed Jack's body; to avoid the hunt of the Scabbards and to be close to Maggie. As long as Jack could keep Jedediah's influence at bay, he and Maggie would fall deeply in love and would eventually marry. They lived a happy yet tragically short life together. Jedediah had lost his patience and the results were deadly.
