The Lanternwake Crossing: A Tale from the Dream-Sea

By M. K. Solace

The storm oceans are gone. In their place lies the Dream-Sea-an ever-shifting expanse born from sleepers' breath and forgotten songs, where islands rise and vanish with the dawn. To cross it is to risk everything, bound by rules older than maps: don't name what you see, don't whistle, don't swear false vows.

The Lanternwake sets sail with a hardened crew, a boy chasing manhood, and a Navigator carrying a broken compass that spins without pointing. Their journey begins as a simple crossing, but soon the Sea leans close, testing them with dream-storms, vanishing shores, and omens that strike deeper than any wave.

As storms gather-of ash, silence, and whispers-the crew must decide whether the Dream-Sea can be mastered...or only survived.

The Lanternwake Crossing is an atmospheric seafaring fantasy, ideal for readers drawn to the mythic voyages of Ursula K. Le Guin, the strange dreamscapes of China Mi ville, or the oceanic epics of Robert V. S. Redick.
