Publisher's blurb: In a region outside normal trade routes, a dangerous being condemns the party to be executed for trespassing. There’s a region of the ocean of roughly 10,000 square miles that has not been greatly explored. When occasionally a ship ventures in, they will either say that their progress was halted for strange reasons, or they are never heard from again. There has been little reason to venture in this open area, as no direct trade routes go through it, and no islands are known to exist within it with any valuable resources. But there are a few reasons a party might be made to venture in. When they do, dangerous adventure awaits.
