Dead Men Jest

By Everen Vale

Captain Ronan "the straight" Longdon has spent ten years chasing a cursed chart whispered about in taverns and feared across the sea-a map said to lead to a power buried beyond the edge of death itself.

Nyle never intended to become part of that hunt.

A gutter-born thief with a silver tongue and a talent for trouble, he joins the voyage for coin, survival, and perhaps the thrill of irritating the infuriatingly rigid pirate captain who refuses to bend for anyone. But the deeper they sail into haunted waters, the clearer it becomes that the chart is no ordinary treasure map.

Something ancient waits at the end of it.

Something hungry.
