Max Larson is a relic hunter in a human galactic empire where the only aliens found are long extinct. However, he's going to find more than treasure in an ancient temple he's exploring, and this discovery will put him on the trail of the biggest score of all time, if he can survive.
NOTE: This is my side project while I'm working on Book 3 of The Only City Left. Whereas with that book, I'm juggling three POVs and multiple characters and plots that I need to bring to a solid close, here I'm goofing off and having fun. So this is unedited and may be full of plot holes as I go along.

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.
A Blessing and a Curse || A Hermitcraft/Watcher AU
'Watchers, often regarded as evil "Masters of Manipulation", are a small but infinitely powerful species. They have been feared and hated for generations because of their ominous appearance, power, and mysterious demeanour. Some consider them to be "Notch's Only Mistake". They are rarely known to show themselves, but when they do, danger always follows.' When Xavon begins to be followed by shadows and starts to see more than he should be able to, he isn't sure whether his transformation from human to Watcher is a blessing or a curse. Maybe it's both. Lots of trigger warnings: depression, panic attacks, violence, self harm. General badness, if you're sensitive to these kind of topics then maybe give this book a miss. Also I'm rubbish with descriptions sooooo Word count: approx 37, 000Complete
