This novella explores Talon’s past during his years aboard his captain’s galleon. Set in 1650—ten years before the events of The Outcast—Talon is stranded in a small, quiet town after a violent storm leaves the ship badly damaged. Still carrying the grief of his mother’s death a decade earlier, he catches a glimpse of a life beyond the sea… and meets someone who makes him feel like his heart might not be completely broken after all.
