Lila Hart

When Captain Jack Rainer inherits a weathered map from his late father, he follows it into the heart of the Pacific-and straight into a storm of secrets. What begins as a search for truth becomes a fight for survival when Jack and his crew-Maya, the sharp-minded archaeologist, and Liam, the reluctant mechanic-discover the legendary Island of Thieves. Beneath its beauty lies a curse older than any empire, guarding a relic that was never meant to be found. As rival mercenaries close in and the island itself begins to awaken, Jack must face the same choice that doomed his father: uncover the island's treasure, or seal its power forever. In a world where greed meets legend, some treasures demand more than gold-they demand your soul. The Island of Thieves is a pulse-pounding action-adventure packed with danger, discovery, and the unbreakable bond between the living and the lost.
