Anne Bonny’s Temporal Paradox invites readers to step back in time to the Golden Age of Piracy for a swashbuckling adventure that spans centuries. In the 18th century, the legendary pirate Anne Bonny battles foes, amasses a king’s ransom in stolen Spanish treasure, and discovers an unexpected romance with the notorious Stede Bonnet. But her story doesn't end on the high seas.
In a strange twist of fate, Anne’s life intertwines with the present day in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. When two young boys exploring local creeks in a homemade boat stumble upon centuries-old clues, they unwittingly launch a hunt for Bonny's long-lost fortune. Meticulously researched and brimming with historical detail, this novel bridges the gap between the rowdy ports of the West Indies and modern adolescence. It is a compelling coming-of-age tale full of action, mystery, and humor, perfect for anyone ready to discover the secrets of the past.
