The Black Tiding was never meant to be sailed.
Beyond the known shipping lanes lies a cursed sea where drowned gates sleep beneath the waves, sirens bargain in blood, sea wraiths whisper from dead currents, and entire ships vanish without leaving wreckage behind. Most captains avoid those waters.
Captain John Morner sails straight into them.
Aboard the battered pirate vessel Melancholy, Morner and his unlikely crew survive one impossible voyage after another: Archie Dan, a quick-fingered thief with more courage than sense; Brother Cask, a giant monk who solves most problems with soup and a harpoon; Miri Thatch, a sharp-tongued navigator with siren blood in her veins; Killian Grath, an old cook who knows far too much about the sea's oldest secrets; and Roithel, a banished sea elf who hides grief behind wine and sarcasm.
When a drowned child is pulled from the sea carrying part of an ancient song, the crew become trapped in a race against sea elf princes, finfolk queens, cursed admirals, and the waking hunger beneath the Black Tiding itself.
To survive, they will have to face dead ships, forgotten betrayals, ancient gates, and the terrible truths they have spent years trying to outrun.
Because some seas do not swallow ships.
They swallow what people refuse to confess.
Black Tidings is a standalone fantasy adventure told across twelve interconnected tales, blending the swashbuckling charm of classic fantasy with eerie oceanic horror, sharp humour, unforgettable characters, and a found-family crew sailing toward the edge of the world.
