Caught in the Tides

Lennox, a young pickpocket, must join a crew of pirates to find his lost friend in siren-infested waters.

Harlok is a cutthroat place to try and survive, and Lennox knows this all too well. But when his close friend, Cyrus, is offered a job aboard a ship for more riches than either of them know what to do with, Lenn is suspicious. Even more so, when Cyrus simply disappears and never returns.

Once Lennox is approached with a similar deal, he vows to figure out what happened to his lost friend or die trying. But the sea cannot be tamed, and secrets dwell in the shadows between waves. With sirens lurking in the deep, it isn't long before Lennox wonders if this mission was a terrible idea, but it is far too late. He's caught in the tides.
