Tides of Consequence

Captain Nathaniel Thorn has spent years carrying the weight of Cartagena. When a dangerous expedition places two ancient artifacts in his hands, the past he survived begins closing around him again.

Aboard the Rising Fortune, Thorn and his crew are drawn into a pursuit across the Caribbean, hunted by Captain Rodrigo Alvarez and watched by men whose interest in the relics reaches far beyond gold.

For young sailor Sam Ward, the mystery becomes increasingly personal. The markings, stories, and warnings surrounding the artifacts begin to touch a part of his own past that he never expected to find at sea.

What begins as a hunt for buried secrets becomes a journey toward something older than the empires fighting to possess it — and toward a place where maps, history, and the rules of the known world can no longer be trusted.
