The Cult: The Legend of Blackbeard’s Chalice by Maddie James

The Legend of Blackbeard’s Chalice continues….

Victoria Porter knows a good man is hard to find on Ocracoke Island in the year 1754.  So curious of the ways of the flesh, she seeks out male affection in a drunken sailor’s lap—but that sailor puts a bullet into her brother Jeremiah’s back, killing him. Jeremiah’s ghost, however, comforts and guides her on an uncertain task—to find their missing brother. Pitched from a ship during a violent storm, she washes up on a beach, soon to be rescued by a man on a strange mechanical beast who whisks her away into a world she could never have dreamed.

In 2007, Colt MacKenzie is tormented by demons of a troubled past and a failing writing career. He fears he has written his last bestselling horror novel until he discovers the The Cult of Teach and a tantalizing nymph wandering the shore on his way to Ocracoke Village.  Fascinated by the history of The Cult that surrounds the Legend of Blackbeard’s Chalice, he seeks to learn more about these modern-day pirates, and hopefully write a best-seller using the premise. He’d planned on riding this ride solo until the strange little waif on the back of his Harley touches him in ways his demons hadn’t let anyone touch in a long, long time….

Author Note: Victoria and Jeremiah Porter are two of Jack and Claire Porter’s children (from THE CURSE).
