Straggler's Reef 

When Karri delves into her family's past she finds a lot more than she bargained for - a treacherous reef, missing treasure, eerie storms and a ghostly namesake. 

You will see it every time you close your eyes and you will never forget it until you are dead, and even then you will pass it on to your survivors that they may follow in your footsteps.
