A reckless stowaway boards the most feared ship in the seven seas, harboring just enough wit- and leverage- to keep his head. With an ancient knowledge and an impossible map, he holds the key to artifacts that have long since faded into myth. However, a journey to adventure and riches rapidly becomes a dire race when a crazed rival catches wind of the task. Faced with a series of ailments on shore and at sea, he will grow to question the morals and sanity of himself and those who surround him, all the while slowly discovering that there is far more to the men and ruthless Obsidian captain than a homicidal reputation.

This is a story I have worked on for three years, and I finally feel confident enough to begin the third draft! It will be slow going, but hopefully worth the wait. This story is my heart and soul, so I hope it will bring as much enjoyment to you as it does to me!
