In 1845, two ships of the Royal Navy, the HMS Terror and the HMS Erebus, led by Sir John Franklin, attempted to sail through the Arctic Circle looking for the Northwest Passage. The ships would become trapped in the Arctic ice for several years. Endlessly cold, with diminishing rations, 126 men fight to survive with poisonous food, a dwindling supply of coal, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice.

But their real enemy is far more terrifying than any of these; an ancient danger lurks in the frigid darkness, shrouded in mystery and somehow linked to one silent woman. 

This is the fictionalized account of an actual expedition that took place nearly 200 years ago, in the cold icy expanse of Inuit WatersAll Rights Reserved

Ocean's Justice by DemelzaCarlton

A mysterious castaway. A Scottish hero determined to protect her. Can they survive the storm? Cast adrift on the Indian Ocean, Maria carries a terrible secret. Wherever she goes, death soon follows, and she's powerless to prevent it. William McGregor boarded the SS Trevessa in search of adventure, but he gets more than he bargained for when he saves the mysterious Maria from the sea. She can't tell them her tragic tale, so the superstitious sailors make up their own stories - and some would sacrifice her to the waves to save themselves from the coming storm. When the sharks start circling and the storm closes in, are sirens more than just a myth? A tiny taste of what's in store: My defiance was futile. What did it get me? A small raft drifting across the Indian Ocean, with nothing but the sound of waves and the smell of salt and coal-smoke. Smoke meant a ship. I was saved. I squinted into the sunlight, but the waves hid the vessel from me. Maybe I was looking the wrong way. I didn't have the strength to sit up and see. Rough hands seized me. I struggled, but my weakness won. Blue eyes drifted above, the same colour as the ocean below. A tangle of wiry seaweed obscured the rest of the man's face. "It's all right, lass. I'll take care of you." Darkness took me first. This book has been published and is available wherever you buy good ebooks.

1899 by imFaizFazel

1899 - A Journey Beyond Time and Sanity A mysterious ship drifts endlessly across the vast Atlantic, its passengers haunted by visions, whispers, and a past they cannot recall. As they sail toward an uncertain destination, time fractures, reality bends, and the boundaries between dreams and nightmares blur. Every corridor hides a secret, every door leads to another layer of horror, and the truth is more terrifying than the unknown. Why are they here? What lies beyond the endless fog? And most importantly-who, or what, is controlling their fate? A journey meant for salvation becomes a descent into madness. 1899 is a psychological horror that will shatter your perception of time, identity, and reality itself. Step aboard. But remember-no one ever truly leaves.
