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.
Between Daggers & Oaths || Book 2
Hope is as rare as water in a kingdom of sun-scorched sands and ancient walls. Princess Ilaria of Sigyn is poised to secure peace for her desert kingdom through an arranged marriage to Prince Godred, the ruler of a rival land. But when a shadowy assassin nearly takes her life, her plans-and her trust in those around her-crumble like desert dust. Forced into hiding on the distant island of Zospery, she finds herself under the protection of Lord Alaric Voss, a man as cold and unyielding as the sea cliffs that guard his home. Alaric is known as the Devil of the Spire, a relentless warrior with a reputation for cruelty and a heart as closed off as the fortress he commands. Yet, beneath his rigid exterior lies a past scarred by loyalty and loss, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive-even if it means standing against the forces that seek to silence her forever. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Ilaria must confront a harsh truth: her greatest danger may not be the assassins lurking in the shadows, but the man who stands beside her, guarding secrets that could shatter everything she's fought to protect. But the more she learns about the unyielding knight, the more she sees glimpses of a depth that calls to her, even as her own resolve hardens into something far less forgiving. In the shifting sands of war and whispered betrayals, two souls clash-one desperate to keep hope alive, the other burdened by a past he cannot escape. And as threats loom from all sides, Ilaria and Alaric will have to decide whether they can truly trust one another... or if the secrets they keep will be the very things that tear them apart. -- COVER BY @-deeisdead- ONC 2024 SHORTLISTER
