In 1996, Intersal Inc. made one of the most important maritime
discoveries in history when they located the infamous Queen Anne's
Revenge buried in shallow water off the coast of North Carolina.
While excavating the site, divers with the Underwater Archaeology
Branch recovered a bronze bell, cannon and numerous eighteenth
century artifacts from the former slave vessel, turned pirate
flagship. They also found small amounts of gold dust, but the
stolen fortune of Captain Edward Teach; aka, the notorious
Blackbeard, remained a mystery. * Rose Rodriquez, a direct
descendant of Henri, a former slave aboard the Queen Anne's
revenge, is determined to wrap up the loose ends of her life with
dignity and repair the severed relationship with her estranged
daughter, Isabelle. Rose's latest project includes sorting through
an old leather portfolio filled with mementos from her childhood
spent searching for Blackbeard's lost treasure with her father.
Rose gives the portfolio to her granddaughter, Sophie without
knowing the seemingly innocuous gift would set off a chain reaction
exposing family secrets of love, betrayal and murder. * As Sophie
unravels the tapestry of clues to Blackbeard's real life, she also
discovers the truth concerning the disappearance of her father,
Alex. Immersed in a maze of adventure shrouded by a deadly curse,
Sophie must decide what she is willing to risk for an opportunity
at unimaginable wealth by solving the intriguing historic mystery
surrounding the lost riches of the Queen Anne's Revenge.
