Whispers of the Wraith

WARNING: Reader's discretion advised. There is graphic content in this short story, as well as dark themes.

Nim Myungdae has been hunting the White Wraith all his life. The dangerous pirate lurks on Kyeku's waters, terrorizing cargo vessels and the Imperial Navy night after night.

The destroyed cargo hull was no different. Like every time before, a single survivor remained on the graveyard ship, picked up by Imperial scouts. In a catatonic state, Myungdae calls upon the Imperial seer Ve Aecha to open the survivor's mind and allow him to witness firsthand the massacre of the sailors by the White Wraith's hands.

Yet his own past, his own connection to the Wraith from years before lingers in the back of the Imperial Spymaster's thoughts. Under the flag of the Imperial Ouroboros, will Myungdae determine the secrets of the Wraith?

This short story surrounds the islands of Kyeku and its Imperium. There will be a novel set in this location in the future, following these same characters.
