The Curse of The Crooked Cutlass

Newly arrived in the coastal town of Baxby Bay, 10-year-old William Reade discovers his new home, The Cutlass – which resembles the inside of an old, crooked ship – has a mind of its own and secrets to hide.

But the strange house is just the start. One night, a dark, ghoul-like creature crawls out from the sea, plunging William into the centuries-old mystery of a shipwreck.

When his little sister is kidnapped by the notorious cutthroat pirate, Balthazar Baxby, William makes a desperate trade to save her: he must travel back in time and hand over an ancient grimoire. But returning to the present, believing the nightmare is over, William and his family discover that the trade has catastrophically altered history.

The town has been wiped from existence. In its place stands a dystopian wasteland trapped under a magical barrier, where terrifying magical creatures roam and the townspeople have been enslaved.

To set the timeline right, William, along with his family and friends, must uncover Baxby Bay's tragic past and fix a centuries-old injustice before his world is shattered forever.
