Cartography of Scoundrels

About this book

Told entirely through recovered diaries, ship logs, and secret telegrams, this dual-timeline adventure follows two scoundrels separated by a century. In 1715, the ruthless privateer Captain Gideon Sterling turns his back on the crown to hunt the legendary Sunken Crown of Potosí, documenting his bloody descent into madness. In 1888, the cynical and indebted archivist Julian Cresswell uncovers Gideon's lost journals and decides to forge an expedition of his own to claim the lost gold. As Julian races against an aristocratic rival and the relentless pursuit of Scotland Yard, he begins to see his own dark reflection in the pirate's ancient words. Both men must navigate treacherous waters, deadly betrayals, and their own moral decay in a quest where the ultimate prize might cost them their souls.
