27 parts Complete A SHIP JOURNEY & A TALE OF TREASON
After an unfortunate string of accidents delay their voyage to Arecia, General Justine Lan and her Arecian counterpart, Gabriel Stoneworth, are forced to travel together in the week-long journey.
Rather unfortunately, the two had detested each other from the moment they'd met. Sometimes they couldn't even remember what had started the avid dislike. Perhaps it was each other's attitudes. Perhaps it was because they clearly were playing at different games here. Or perhaps it just couldn't be explained.
But no matter. They just needed to survive their journey to Arecia. Fortunately, they're accompanied by old friends: the Earl and Countess of Farnsworth, Marcus and Cassalyn; and the Viscount and Viscountess of Archsham, Laurence and Ciri.
Except... someone seems to be after them. Turns out, the ship they're travelling holds information of treason and tales of betrayal, and someone wants to silence them before they could pass anything on.
But surely, with two battle-experienced generals and four spies, nothing could go wrong?
