Lost Treasures of the Pirates of the Caribbean by James A. Owen

The curse could be broken only if the plundered treasure was restored in total and a blood debt repaid. But because the gold fueled Cortés' greed, the Heathen Gods placed a curse over the gold: any mortal that removes a piece from the chest shall be damned. It was known to be buried at the Isla de Muerta, an island of the dead located in the Caribbean.Īccording to legends, the Aztecs delivered the chest to conquistador Hernán Cortés as blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon with his armies. The Treasure of Cortés, also referred to as the treasure of the Isla de Muerta, was a cursed treasure, consisting of 882 identical pieces of Aztec gold in a stone chest. Nobody knows what happened to it.' ― Christophe-Julien de Rapièr and Jack Sparrow 'You and every other buccaneer for the last hundred and fifty years. And perhaps even worse, the apparent splintering of Time itself.' What I'd like to lay my hands on would be the Treasure of Cortés.' But even as their return is celebrated by old friends, new concerns shadow the reunion: the threat of Ecthroi, primordial Shadow.
