Those Cobalt Currents. The Tortuga & the Hare, #2

On the sea, everything changes. But only with blood. Lyam Beaumont spent his whole life on the prosperous island of L'Perle, working as a carpenter and trader alongside his parents. Enchanted by the stories of sailors, Lyam imagined a life of adventure but never found the courage to leave. Until the Cobalt Hare arrived in port. After procuring a magical artifact, the crew of the Cobalt Hare arrives looking to make a trade.
But no one wants the strange artifact until Lyam's mother provides knowledge of a magic trader in the north. Here, Lyam seeks his opportunity to abandon his quiet life on L'Perle. He joins the Cobalt Hare with a promise: he will help them complete the trade in exchange for adventure. Yet, the Cobalt Hare's crew is inexperienced. Their captain, the mysterious Tristan Davies, hides in his cabin each day, while the small crew operates without knowledge of how to even maintain the ship.
Lyam wonders what secrets lie beneath the rotting floorboards of the ship. Is there more magic waiting to be uncovered? And how will it affect their voyage ahead? Can they make the trade without casualties? Or will they be left to the cobalt currents of the sea?
