After Dark : The One Treasure He Couldn't Trade

The ocean never gives up its secrets willingly. You were told to meet a simple artifact appraiser aboard an aging research vessel anchored above a forgotten abyss. Instead, you found Adrian Locke—a gentleman whose effortless smile concealed dangerous intentions, whose sharp amber eyes seemed to read your thoughts before you spoke them. One glance at an ancient relic, and he knew its history, its value... and the blood that had been spilled to claim it. He carries himself like nobility, bargains like a diplomat, and lies like an artist. Every nation trusts him. Every criminal empire welcomes him. Yet no one truly knows whose side he's on. When steel whispers from the hidden blade inside his cane, his elegance becomes lethal. And when he offers you his hand with that irresistible smile, you can't tell whether he's inviting you into the adventure of a lifetime... or the greatest deception in history. As forgotten civilizations awaken beneath the sea and powerful factions close in from every direction, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: The world's most dangerous treasure hunter isn't searching for gold. He's searching for you.
