The Civil War is being fought along the Carolina coast. In a shanty inhabited by a grandmother and granddaughter, two Union soldiers thrash into the underbrush, making their way to the weather-beaten shack.
Things go terribly awry when the character flaw of opportunism strikes the commanding officer.
This story is based on a True Account of a Deathbed revelation in South Carolina newspaper archives when I was researching my novel, "Jenkins: Confederate Blockade Runner".

The Legend of the Uncharted Island
Balin Van Buuren, a once-renowned swashbuckling novelist fallen on hard times, attempts to reclaim his former fame by writing a book based on a mysterious journal acquired in a London tavern. Though the novel proves a commercial failure, its publication triggers an unforeseen chain reaction: it draws the attention of the Spanish Empire, the wrath of the Holy Office, and the ambitions of pirates, viceroys, and elves alike-all convinced that the journal contains more than mere fiction. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century New Spain and the Caribbean, this is a tale of adventure without heroes-only characters driven by desperation, ambition, or the need to survive, locked in a deadly race for a treasure believed to be legendary... and dangerously real. The fusion of colonial history and dark fantasy shapes a novel for readers drawn to intrigue, complex worlds, and stories where every secret comes at a cost.
