The House Lost at Sea, Part I
Catalina de la Corona, the former Pirate Princess of the Seven Seas, has lived an unnaturally long life due to a terrible curse. Hiding in plain sight as an investment banker, she waits for the end of eternity and the death she has rightfully earned.
When a rich client's fascination with a long dead pirate queen threatens to exhume the watery grave of Catalina's lost captain and crew, she must take up arms against friends and enemies alike to protect her captain's legacy. Should the Calico's sunken ruins be discovered, the House Lost at Sea and its unknown treasures will be plundered, revealing the secret of Catalina's immortality, guaranteeing she'll lose the most precious treasure of all: her freedom.

Catalina is a very different and unusual character. Her long life has given her a unique perspective on love, life, and property rights. I highly recommend getting to know Catalina Corona.

Oh what fun!! Pirates, lost treasure, and a main character who can never die. What's not to love in RJ Blains The House Lost at Sea? This is a fast-paced romp across three continents and two oceans that's worth a go, even if you've never read the original series.
