POSITION UNCERTAIN

A Shipwreck. A Betrayal. A Daughter's Reckoning.

When restoration expert Mara Voss opens the safety-deposit box her father left behind, she finds a hand-drawn nautical chart—and a five-word warning scratched in his failing script:

Found it. Don't trust Reyes.

Her father spent thirty years chasing the wreck of the Walburga, a Dutch merchant ship that vanished off the coast of Mozambique in 1641 with stolen silver—and a secret the world buried with it.

The only survivor, a teenage cabin boy, insisted he'd heard the Captain order the ship turned toward the reef and sunk on purpose.

No one believed him.

Almost four hundred years later, Mara's father couldn't let that truth die.

But when a ruthless collector closes in, Mara's mission turns urgent: find the wreck and protect what her father uncovered before it can be exploited—or erased.

And the one person who may know where the chart's final coordinates lead is also the man her father warned her not to trust: Tomas Reyes.

In a story told through shifting points of view, Mara must decide what her suspicions are worth—before the race for the Walburga destroys the evidence along with the past.

Some things are worth finding. Others are worth understanding why they were lost in the first place.
