Which Way Is North?
In a single heartbeat, veteran captain Darius "Grey" Mallory and his fifty-person crew are torn from familiar seas and plunged into a storm-choked nightmare. They awaken younger, stronger, but stranded aboard their ship, the Aeternus, on an alien ocean ten times wider and infinitely deadlier than Earth's own.
With no familiar stars to guide them, Mallory, now a young captain bearing the weight of a thousand storms, must master an advanced warship disguised as a humble sailing vessel, its mysterious systems powered by unknown technology.
Bound to this vessel and branded by an enigmatic "System," every crew member is given roles that redefine their destiny, forcing them to adapt or perish.
Navigating monster-infested waters, fighting ruthless pirate fleets, and forming an uneasy alliance with Nythara, a dragon once chained by slave traders, Mallory must grapple with his crew’s loyalty, his own haunting regrets, and the question that gnaws at his soul:
Which way is North? When all you have left is the sea?
In a journey where each horizon hides dangers and every ally could be a foe, Captain Mallory will chase freedom, redemption, and a path home even if he must forge that path himself, one storm at a time.
