The maps are a lie.
When an 1886 expedition sails off the edge of the known world, ninteen year old Elian discovers the horrifying truth about the Five Oceans: they are alive, they are hungry, and they demand a heavy toll from anyone trying to cross them.
Alongside a father hiding a deadly secret and a mysterious girl bound to the stars, Elian must battle terrifying storms, brutal enemies, and his own silent, suffocating panic. In a world where every inch of water is earned with blood, surviving the voyage means losing everything else.
