About the Book

A Mystery Two Centuries in the Making

Lucy Wilson didn’t know time travel ran in her blood—until her mother disappeared.

When a two-hundred-year-old deed threatens her family’s home on Creek Island, forensic genealogist Lucy Wilson uncovers a secret buried in 1814 Spanish Florida. To save her mother and the island, she must follow the mystery into the past—where privateers, old magic, and her own family history are waiting.
