In 1938, Rick and Rose Sinclair are Savannah antiques dealers. Some of their finds hint at lost treasures and mythical locations. Risk-taking Rick often convinces his researcher wife to set out in search of adventure and riches, but they frequently find dangerous creatures and supernatural entities instead.
For centuries, stories had circulated of an Aztec city so rich that precious gems adorned the buildings and the streets were paved with gold. But like so many Aztec locations, this one had been abandoned and swallowed by the jungle. Since the time of the conquistadors, expeditions have set out to find it. None have ever returned.
At their antique shop, Rick and Rose Sinclair come across what may be a map to the lost City of Gold in an Aztec artifact. The adventurous husband implores his more level-headed wife that this is their opportunity to become rich. She sees it as a chance for a great historical discovery, and agrees. They and pilot pal Humphrey Custis set out for unexplored Mexico.
The three arrive in a jungle filled with perils. Deadly jaguars, killer spiders, and hostile locals all attack at every turn. Rick and Rose soon discover terrifying details about the lost city, including inhabitants that only walked the night and feasted on sacrifices of human blood. The dangers keep multiplying and the Sinclairs are in over their heads. Will they join the list of explorers who died in a search for the City of Gold?

In 1718, the notorious pirate Blackbeard was captured and killed. But he left no trace of the immense riches he’d plundered during his years pillaging the high seas.
In 1938, antique dealers Rick and Rose Sinclair discover what appears to be a map of an uncharted island sketched in Blackbeard’s hand. With the help of Virginia, a pirate expert, they deem the map authentic, and the most likely place for Blackbeard to have hidden his treasure.
Along with their trusty pilot friend Humphrey, the three set out find the island. But an East Coast mobster is on their tail with his own designs on this trove. And if that isn’t enough danger, Blackbeard had used supernatural assistance setting up defenses around his treasure, and Rick and Rose will find that all of them are as potent as ever.
Rick and Rose have survived some wild adventures, but nothing could prepare them for the terrors of a voyage to Blackbeard’s Island.
