The Whale's Song is a decommissioned cruise liner. Retired from shuttling tourists around the moons of Jupiter, it now spends its time as a boarding house above the planet. Oscar, a modern history teacher, boards the ship in search of a holiday. Through a case of mistaken identity, Oscar finds himself drawn against his will into the personal lives of the passengers on board.
Aside from this, life upon The Whale's Song is easy. Except that they are almost out of jam, and Oscar has a feeling that Chief Engineer Ima Diamond fancies him. To make matters worse, the ship has fallen on a trajectory course straight to the heart of a black hole, and the ship's captain has just charged him with the task of making sure the passengers don't panic.

Tides of Fate
Aria only agreed to the cruise to escape her routine, not to step into a world where secrets sink deeper than the ocean itself. When she meets a mysterious stranger who seems to know more than he lets on, the trip takes a turn she never saw coming. Strange things start happening aboard the ship, and Aria begins to wonder what kind of cruise she's really on. Two weeks. One ship. Nowhere to run. And the only person who might save her... might also be the reason she needs saving.
King Of All
She was a princess raised behind stone walls. He was the son of the sea, forged in salt and fire. When Edith, the youngest daughter of Hazelwood's royal family, is taken hostage aboard a pirate ship, she expects cruelty, punishment... or worse. What she doesn't expect is Captain Archer: brooding, guarded, and far more complicated than the villain the crown made him out to be. As days at sea turn into nights of storm and shadow, Edith learns the truth of an ancient war-one that split the world between land and sea and left blood in its wake. But something stirs beneath her skin. Strange dreams, strange power-something old, something forgotten. The ocean calls to her, and someone is listening. With rebellion rising and loyalties shifting, Edith and Archer are bound together by more than fate. And in a world built on secrets, the greatest threat may not be the battles ahead, but the truths buried in their pasts. A slow-burn romantic fantasy full of courtly intrigue, sea-bound legends, and the dangerous magic of what it means to choose your own destiny.
