In Sussex and Kent's ancient woodlands and chalky cliffs, the past never stays buried - and neither does its treasure.
Nestled in the picturesque hills of Sussex, the town of Rye hides a turbulent past beneath its charming façade. By the 18th century, it had become a notorious refuge for smugglers, dominated by the ruthless Hawkhurst Gang.
When sharp-witted barmaid Sarah Woodward and down-on-his-luck bargeman Felix Fenwick stumble upon a treasure map at the Mermaid Inn in Rye in 1746, they see a chance to change their lives. But this map leads to the fabled hoard of the Cinque Ports-a treasure cursed by centuries of blood and betrayal.
Pursued by the Hawkhurst Gang and watched by customs authorities, Sarah and Felix embark on a perilous journey through Sussex and Kent's hidden history. Will they uncover the treasure's true value, or become its next victims?
