ROYAL DIAMONDS

A Jake Stede Adventure

"From sunken treasure and ruthless rivals to a hero you can't help but root for, Royal Diamonds takes you deep into the darkest corners of the Caribbean with the confidence and swagger of a classic Cussler adventure. With salt, gunpowder, and the danger of modern-day cutthroats thrumming beneath every page, this is the kind of story that reminds you why you fell in love with adventure thrillers in the first place. A fast, fun, expertly crafted ride!"

 Jack Stewart, USA Today bestselling author of Riptide

"A swashbuckling modern thriller, Royal Diamonds blends history, espionage, and high-seas adventure into a nonstop thrill ride. Think Jack Carr meets Clive Cussler-with a heart as big as its action."

Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy and author of Ted Bell's Warmonger

Some treasures are worth killing for. Some secrets refuse to die.

Oxford historian and former U.S. Marine Dr. Jake Stede has always chased the past-but when he sets sail for the Caribbean to uncover his family's rumored pirate legacy, he finds himself in the crosshairs of something far deadlier than buried gold.

A priceless blood diamond, stolen from the British government, has gone missing-and Jake's hunt for history collides with a ruthless criminal empire determined to reclaim it. Teaming up with his reckless best friend Mike Diaz, the fiery historian Olivia "Harper" Calhoun, and Lady Lauren Abigail "Abby" Mountbatten, a British royal desperate to restore her family's honor, Jake is thrust into a perilous race across oceans and continents.

From Charleston's cobblestone streets to storm-lashed Caribbean islands, what begins as a search for treasure soon becomes a fight for survival, where loyalty is fragile, history bleeds into the present, and every secret comes with a price.

Royal Diamonds is a globe-trotting action thriller of history, espionage, and redemption-perfect for fans of Jack Carr, Clive Cussler, and Ted Bell.
