⢠Michaela āMickā Walton ā¢
Growing up, Mick Walton had been reminded every day that she was born for one reason only: to save her sisterās life.
Itās a pursuit that takes most of her childhood and countless hospitalizations, but when it all proves to be a futile effort, Mick utilizes her recent emancipation to leave behind her family (and their prominent fortune) on Figure Eight. Even with itās drawbacks she chooses to start fresh on the less wealthy side of the island, nicknamed The Cut. As she settles into her new life, she strikes up a tentative friendship with the Pogues. While theyād been at odds with her old friends, the Kooks, ever since she could remember, Mick had always been too preoccupied with her and her sisterās health issues to get caught up in their feud. Fortunately, despite their initial hesitance, the Pogues adopt Mick into their group, giving her a sense of belonging sheād gone her whole life without.
Over a year later, their lives are thrown off balance when they discover a hotel key amidst a shipwreck after Hurricane Agatha. What the key reveals puts them on the same path that may have culminated in the disappearance of John Bās dad. With his sight set on the Royal Merchantās lost gold, John B pulls the Pogues into a whirlwind treasure hunt that could either lead to their success or ultimate failure.
