Cocos Beckons - The Curse of Yemaya Brian Langhoff

Unknowingly plagued by an ancient curse, fishing vessel Captain Rachel Kristiansen and her dedicated female crew must follow clues left by one of her ancestors on a quest to a beautiful Pacific island rich in tales of an immense pirate hoard. They must take their ship, The Lady Destiny II, on an epic journey from Gloucester through perilous waters protected for eons by hidden entities that have been known to have doomed many mariners to a watery grave. They enter a world of dangerous creatures, ancient superstitions, paranormal spirits, and pirate lore in search of treasure and an end to the curse that has entrapped her family in a cycle of servitude and death for nearly 200 years. Confronted with numerous obstacles, they face off with the forces of the ancient goddess Yemayá. The trio must battle for their lives but, what sacrifices must be made to succeed? Will she and her aging Grandmother finally find peace from the ghosts of their past? Will she find fortune and riches beyond belief? Will Rachel finally be able to determine if she has been free to pursue her own destiny or has she been guided through life all along with little control of her actions? When two opposing gods are involved, anything is possible and who knows what the outcome will be?
