In 1909, the British cargo ship Victoria vanished during a violent Atlantic storm—only to reappear years later, its crew gone, its decks eerily untouched. When a modern vessel stumbles upon the same storm, the crew is rescued by a ghostly ship that shouldn’t exist, its name lost to time.

When the final confrontation comes on a tempestuous night, only a magical dagger stands between him and a fate sealed in claws and shadow.
