In 1696, the pirate Henry Every sailed into Nassau harbor with the richest treasure haul in history - and vanished without a trace, along with his flagship, the Fancy. For over three hundred years, the ship's fate remained one of the great unsolved mysteries of the sea.
When Jack Malone clears out his late grandfather's storage unit, he finds more than old dive gear and faded photographs. Hidden in a battered trunk is thirty years of obsessive, secret research - hand-drawn charts, archival records, and a chilling final note: the old man had narrowed the search to three possible sites, and never got the chance to dive the one that mattered most.
Jack recruits two friends to help him finish what his grandfather started: Tom Reyes, a historian who can separate real evidence from wishful thinking, and Danny Shaw, a boat captain with nothing left to lose. What begins as a quiet, six-day survey turns into the discovery of a lifetime - a debris field, a corroded ship's bell, and proof that the Fancy has been waiting in the sand all along.
But finding her is only the beginning. Bahamian law demands permits before a single coin can be legally raised, and word of a find this size never stays buried for long. Ray Kessler, a rival salvor who has chased this same ship for twenty years, isn't willing to watch three newcomers succeed where he failed - and as the evidence mounts and the treasure grows too large to hide, his patience runs out entirely.
Between the three men lies a race against bureaucracy, a determined competitor, and the sea itself - silt-outs in collapsing hull sections, a squall that nearly ends the search for good, and a night intruder who will risk everything rather than let the Fancy slip away a second time. The deeper they dig, the more the wreck reveals: not just gold, but the ordinary men who sailed her, hid her, and were lost along with her.
The Fate of the Fancy is a novel about the cost of obsession and the debts one generation leaves for the next - a story of patient, dangerous work done right, of a secret kept just long enough to matter, and of three men who finally bring history up out of the dark where it had been waiting three hundred years to be found.

About the Author
M.J. Johansen is a horror and thriller author known for fast-paced, character-driven fiction that finds the darkness hiding inside ordinary institutions - hospitals, small towns, families. Johansen's catalog spans supernatural horror, literary fiction, sci-fi, and historical adventure, including All Hallows Eve, My Guardian Angel, Unhallowed Ground, Widow's Hollow, Born a Genius, What Heaven Is Like, and The Fate of the Fancy. Doctor Death is Johansen's first foray into medical thriller territory, drawing on the real institutional chaos of the pandemic years to imagine how easily trust can be exploited when a system is stretched past its limits.
Johansen lives and writes in the United States and is currently at work on the next novel.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
