SPOILER WARNING!
This article contains heavy discussion of plot details of the original Unwanteds books. You are at risk of major spoilers if you haven't read up to Island of Dragons. Be careful!

The Island of Shipwrecks, also called Shipwreck Island[1], was an island eternally kept in a magical hurricane. It is the last island to the east of Artimé. From west to east, it is the last island in the Seven Islands.

Previously, the island was covered in an eternal hurricane, that would have only an hour of calm each day. The nature of this storm seems magical, but it's been around for hundreds of years, so its origins are unknown. The island was previously used by the pirates to shipwreck and kill people. This storm was dissipated by Alex with a magic chant.

The island has housed many people in the past, due to the fact that it's next to the easiest entrance to the Seven Islands: the waterfall going up.

Locations/Appearance

The island is small, small enough that Florence can see clear across it standing up. It's covered in large rocks. All around the island are shipwrecks that are visible from a distance[2], but there are even more underwater.

There is a small shelter nestled in some of these rocks, that goes underground and has various rooms, built by the countless people who had lived there in the past. The entryway is made in a way that keeps the rain from entering in it, and is too small for Florence to fit through. Inside, there are a few rooms where people can sleep, a kitchen and dining area, and a large greenhouse, with glass from Marcus Today keeping the rain out.

Inhabitants

The Island of Shipwrecks has housed many people in the past, but getting off of it was tough. Almost all of these people came from outside of the Seven Islands. Currently, there are a small amount of people living there.

History

For hundreds of years, the pirates used the Island of Shipwrecks to dispose of their enemies.[3]

People have also been shipwrecking on this island for an unknown amount of time, likely centuries. The previous people are now all dead, but some were present when Ishibashi, Ito, and Sato landed there. The main structure on the island, the underground home, was actually fully built by others, save for the glass in the greenhouse, which was installed by Marcus Today.
