NO GOLD FOR THE CURSED

Some treasures are not meant to be found.

When Iris Landon is forced to join her estranged father-a notorious pirate captain-on a final voyage, she expects danger, storms, and hardship. What she doesn't expect is a cursed island where greed devours the soul, and the sea itself watches with hungry eyes.

Driven by obsession, Captain Howell Landon leads his crew toward the legendary treasure of the Great Queen-a fortune whispered to grant freedom beyond imagination. But the island of Vatune is no ordinary destination. It is a graveyard of ambition, haunted by monstrous creatures, ancient magic, and deadly sirens who lure men to their doom.

When Iris encounters Sebastian, a mysterious and captivating merman, she begins to question everything she's been told. Friend or enemy? Savior or pawn in a deeper scheme?

As betrayal unfolds and the curse takes hold, Iris must choose between gold and survival, loyalty and truth… humanity and transformation.

Because on Vatune, every desire has a price.

And not everyone escapes.

Perfect for readers of dark fantasy, pirate adventures, cursed treasure stories, and slow-burn fantasy romance.
