In the Sirocco Strait, intuition is the only compass that survives.
  When the Wind-Shift Season turns the Sirocco Strait into a living labyrinth, only one navigator dares to cross it. Kavaru Sen, flamboyant, intuitive, and salt etched by a lifetime at sea, accepts a high risk contract that pulls him from the ritual flames of Qashir-al-Nahr into the storm cut corridor between continents.
  But the Strait is changing. Currents reverse. Reefs migrate. Storm temples awaken. And the mysterious passenger aboard his vessel carries a secret that bends omens and stirs the deep water itself.
  To survive the season, Kavaru must choose between contract, conscience, and the truth waiting beneath the waves.
  A standalone maritime novella set in Aelthara’s southern seas: sharp, vivid, and wind cut.
