To Edmund W. Heath, traveling with Captain Jackson
James as his most trusted accountant is a dream of a lifetime. However, that dream turns upside down when he arrives in Port Royal, a city filled with riches, crime, and abundant resources. Bad luck seems to follow him everywhere in this cursed city, which is so wicked that locals predict that it is doomed to be destroyed by the hand of God. Within the darkness, Edmund finds light in Alaine Garrett, the daughter of a local vendor. Together, along with his best friend Sejour, they conquer pain and tribulation, rising stronger with a story to tell.
