Somewhere off the coast of Peru, 1879. Half a world away from home, Bo is rescued from a shipwreck by the crew of the Ayar, a ship manned by runaways and deserters with a mute captain and an enigmatic first mate. But mutiny festers in the bilge, and between luck spells and sea dragons, surviving on the high seas becomes a matter of 'kill or be killed' - eat or be eaten. What is a captain to a god? What is a god to a cook?A 30-minute weird historical fantasy with eldritch horror sympathies. R.M. Sayan is a queer spec writer across most genres, with a soft spot for anything pulp and camp.
