The Last Sounding - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In the waning days of the Golden Age of Piracy, Captain Harrow and the crew of the Ravaged Wench carve profit from blood, salt, and sea. To Harrow the world is a ledger — men, cargo, lives — each weighed and priced without a tremor of the hand, until nothing is left in him but the hollow place where wanting used to be. Discipline and violence have carried them farther than braver men ever dared.

But when rumor of a crippled ship draws the Wench west by north from Port Royal, the promise of salvage leads Harrow and his crew into waters where compasses spin, prayers go unanswered, and the sea itself no longer obeys the laws of God or man.

As strange winds gather and men begin vanishing into the black water, fear and superstition spread through the crew. Yet something older and far more dangerous than the sea has fixed its attention on Harrow alone — because it has waited a long time for a soul shaped exactly like his. Far from land and beyond the reach of mercy, the Ravaged Wench sails toward a darkness from which no man returns unchanged.
