It was a dark night when Lieutenant Elvin Ranlee arrived at the tavern in the woods. The sign showed a galloping black stallion and the enticing smell of ale and hot food called out to him after such a long day’s march. A crowd were gathered. Drinking, eating, singing and dancing, enjoying one another’s company. A large man was dancing and celebrating his latest job well done with strong ale and good cheer. A woman was passing the night with a good meal while she planned her next move. All as the City Watch approached in hot pursuit. How much could happen in just one night?

Weeks have passed since the events at the Sign of the Running horse and Derville Anyth is coming to know the two men that she has thrown her lot in with. On their travels they find their way at last to the coast, to the wide ocean and the call of adventure on the high seas. There is just one thing first though, they need to navigate their way through the town of Linngan. Arriving on a clear, cold night they soon learn that there is more to this seemingly quiet town than meets the eye. And many of the eyes that are watching them do not seem friendly.

Dukki Reptan had never thought before how well the high-seas life might suit him. Fishing, sailing, drinking, singing. There’s a lot to be said for it! As he travels the shipping lanes with Elvin and Derville things seem to be going well until a chance encounter with some strange creatures shows them just how far off course they have come. This is a time for leadership and courage as they battle against the elements and the fortunes of the sea to find their way safely into dock at Khannath. Are they up to the task? Do they really know what lies in store for them?
