In the Eight Kingdoms of Zemiya, legends have a habit of surviving long after the men who made them are dead.

When the Chromatic Crusade returns to Port Crescent during the height of Carnivale, a chance encounter with an ancient enchanted bottle reveals a secret buried for centuries. Freed from his prison, a spirit possesses a coded map once belonging to the notorious Dread Capitan Lee Roy De La Jesus—a map that may lead to the pirate lord’s vanished stronghold and the greatest hoard ever lost to the Sea of Caribia.

The Crusaders follow the trail beyond familiar waters, deciphering riddles concealed within old songs, celestial markings, Vevespeak, and forgotten pirate lore. Their search leads to Widow Island, a place hidden from ordinary navigation and protected by the deadly remnants of Lee Roy’s empire.

Yet the treasure is only part of what was concealed there.

Beneath the island lies the truth behind the legendary Widow’s Wake, the fate of Lee Roy and his crew, and a secret powerful enough to transform a quest for fortune into something far greater.

For the Chromatic Crusade, reaching the treasure will require courage.

Leaving it behind may require even more.
