    About this ebook

    The Academy of Strothkurn needs a ship for a research voyage.Their needs are answered when the Verdant Swan, the fastest merchant trader on the Opal Sea, arrives in port. Gunner Zyrri listens to the story told by Baron Marindulce and his assistant Gerbielle and wonders what has been left out. When the Captain accepts the mission the Swan sails into danger from the storms they are seeking. But when an unknown warship attacks the Swan, it’s up to Zyrri to defend the vessel.
