Description
A merchant sailing vessel is on the final voyage of the trade season, a journey made more difficult due to the changing weather and the failing of the winds. The world is on the edge of disaster, forests have been harvested to the brink, and the summers have grown hotter and longer. Led by Cleo, the first mate, the crew discover a burned-out ship adrift on the high ocean. They discover pirates have murdered everyone on board except for a princess and her two servants. What attracts Cleo to this princess, and what is her connection to the land? Supernatural forces rise to stop them in their quest to return the princess safely to her home. Nothing is as it seems as they are chased by the shadows and sins of yesterday. Reality bends, and nightmares appear in the waking world. What is the Blood of Eternity? Why is it coveted above all else? Cleo and his crew must navigate the oceans as the world trembles, and begins to gasp its last breath.
