The Keys of Islamorada

By Carolina Wild

Beneath the moss-draped oaks, crumbling plantations, and charming small towns of the American South lies a secret older than history itself.

Sophie is a member of a clandestine society that has guarded an impossible discovery for generations: a forgotten form of time travel hidden within enchanted keys and ancient historical markers scattered across the land of live oak and Spanish moss. To ordinary people, they're nothing more than weathered signs and forgotten monuments. To Sophie, they are doorways into the past.

But the deeper she travels through history, the more she realizes that the stories people have been told are only half the truth.

Ghost legends conceal real tragedies. Mythical creatures leave footprints through the centuries. Political scandals run far deeper than the history books admit. Lost fortunes, forbidden romances, unsolved disappearances, and dark betrayals lurk behind the polished image of Southern gentility.

Then Sophie's journey takes an unexpected turn when she meets Elliott, a young pirate from the Golden Age. Thrust centuries beyond his own time, Elliott becomes her unlikely companion as they leap across eras together. Bound by adventure and danger, they must navigate the perils of changing history while facing threats from both the past and the future.

As hidden enemies close in and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Sophie and Elliott discover that some truths were buried for a reason-and some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

A thrilling blend of historical fantasy, mystery, adventure, and time travel, this unforgettable journey through the South's darkest legends will leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew about history.
