Bendurana spent a lifetime on the water, pulled through war and adventure, love and loss. Fitting that after a lifetime at sea, he finds himself dying on it. But his father told him a hero never quits, and Ben never will. He risked everything to stand up to the pirates that set him adrift, and now he'll do anything to get back to the woman he loves. His food is gone. His boat is taking on water. And yet, he clings to hope with each failing breath. After all he's been through, now he has to trust the mercurial goddess of the deep to see this hero though his story. And his future is as uncertain as the currents of wind and tide...
This Skyfall Era novella is a prequel to Children of Sun and Moon, but can be read as a standalone story.
