A Young Sailor's Initiation into a Life of Peril and Revelation

At the helm of this thrilling tale stands Thomas Avery, a young sailor yearning to prove his worth on the vast expanse of the ocean. As he joins the crew of the windjammer Drake, little does he know that he is about to embark on a treacherous odyssey that will test his limits and alter the course of his life forever.

With each passing day at sea, Thomas's initiation into the unforgiving world of seafaring intensifies.
