the vorrick curse

Centuries ago, ruthless pirate Captain Kael Vorrick stole an obsidian gem from the cursed island of Serpent’s Grief, unleashing a bloodline curse: “Those born of Vorrick will lose the one who loves them most.” In modern times, Tyson Vorrick, a solitary analyst, falls deeply in love with vibrant Zara, only to watch her waste away from an unexplained illness. Driven by desperation, Tyson uncovers Kael’s journal and a map to Serpent’s Grief, hinting at a cure. Joined by a daring archaeologist, a wild sailor, a sharpshooter navigator, and a pragmatic medic, Tyson embarks on a perilous ocean adventure. As ghostly seas, serpent shadows, and ancient tests challenge their resolve, Tyson must confront the curse’s deadly price—will he save Zara or lose himself to the Vorrick legacy?
