In a land ruled by the fickle wrath of the Goddess of the Sea, a villager performs a nightly ritual to prevent chaos. A painful but necessary ritual - one that affects more than just the one man tasked with its execution. Grindel performs this duty. The only one capable, he survives the raging, freezing ocean to hold off Her wrath. Until one night the Goddess changes her mind. And sets the entire village's fate in a different, unpredictable direction. An absorbing fantasy short story combining the mythic and the intensely personal, the riveting and the engrossing, Ships in the Night questions the lies we tell ourselves and the power of legend set amidst a richly imagined world at sea.
