In a Caribbean Taíno inspired world, a gods-cursed capitán must escort a warrior carrying a sacred relic of the gods through a divine jungle trial and cursed waters—before the deathless pirate king she created claims them both.

SERE ANEHITA, a gods-blessed human with magic and long life, gave it all for the sickly man she loved. Her soul was forever branded as a murderer and a traitor in this and the next life as she stole and corrupted a weapon of the gods. Her lover, LAMARC, was poisoned by the power becoming the deathless pirate king as she became Goddess Death. Unable to destroy the monster she created, Sere fled, but not before stealing the gods’ relic from him.

Years later, the Retumbre ship, under Captain Sere’s command is the only known vessel to have faced pirate waters and survived. Docked at a port in the country of Encanto, a warrior, YAEL, hires them to ferry passengers and goods to the city of Cauta, where the primary ruling Cacique of Encanto resided. The reward: whatever Sere wanted.

Upon embarking nothing goes to plan and Sere is stranded with Yael in a jungle facing a foreign goddess' test of worthiness, made deadlier by Sere's bond with the power of the gods and the object of power Yael carries around his neck.

Alliances are made as an unlikely bond is formed through survival and revealed truths as they traverse each test, but a shadow grows in the background. Lamarc, the deathless pirate king of La Muerte, haunts the seas, eager to take revenge for what Sere did to him, and take the power of the gods for himself.
