When Searlus, a young barrel maker, gets the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sail to the sacred island of his ancestors, he considers this a sign that his deity is finally turning the tides to destroy the Saluman Empire who has been oppressing the Horak people for generations.

But, when pirates surround the fleet, a storm blows in from the east, and a sea monster attacks the ship, Searlus’ trust in the Wavemaker will be shaken to the core, testing his loyalty, and forcing him to come to terms with his violent crusade.
