AS AHAB DID BEFORE
“The Sea our maiden, the Stars our guide and neither shall fail us.”

Prophecy in the jaws of a priest. Stars in the hands of a navigator. Fear in the heart of a Captain. Will the crew of The Diomedea escape the agents of fate or allow the sea to levy the hangman’s toll?

CALL TO THE LIGHT
“ When you call, we’ll answer the call!”
She calls us. She saves us. She feeds us. She leads us.

THE ABSENCE OF AUNT GRETA
“What an idyllic evening. Makes you believe in a creator.”
A year after the funeral of their founder, members of a high society club gather for their annual dinner, but something is coming to get them for what they’ve done...
Witness the downfall of the most abhorrent people humanity has to offer. When opulence fades and decadence crumbles, what remains of these wicked individuals?
