Unravel the Curse of the Dodo.

Elias Carter, a pragmatic historian, arrives on the sun-drenched shores of Mauritius seeking academic glory, hoping to unlock the legendary treasure of the pirate La Buse. But the island holds a far more ancient and terrifying secret than he could ever imagine. Whispers of a pirate's curse, tied to the fate of the extinct dodo, lead him to Leïla, a mysterious local whose ancestral ties to the island's magic run deeper than any history book.

As Elias delves into cryptograms and forgotten rituals, he uncovers a shocking truth: the "treasure" isn't gold, but a divine power that can reverse extinction... or unleash a monstrous plague. When a rival, consumed by insatiable greed, unleashes the curse, bringing back not just dodos but an island-wide nightmare of talking birds and impossible creatures, Elias and Leïla must confront a transformed titan.

Now, with the fate of Mauritius, and perhaps the world, hanging in the balance, Elias faces the ultimate choice: claim unimaginable power or make the selfless sacrifice to restore balance. But some curses, once stirred, are never truly laid to rest. Can a historian truly unravel a magic as old as time, or is he merely stepping into a cycle destined to repeat?
