The Marvellous Misadventures of Morag Mayes
​Morag Mayes should have died years ago.
​
Left for dead after a raid that killed her parents and stole her younger sister, Morag clawed her way back to life and fled the island that had nothing left to give her. She built a crew from castaways and survivors. Runaways, addicts, smugglers, and lost souls. Together they learned how to live on the outside.
​​
Now, scarred and weary, Morag is called home.

A rumour has surfaced: her sister may still be alive, sighted near the Driftlands, a shifting cluster of cursed islands where maps become meaningless, navigation lies, and few return unchanged. To reach them, Morag must trust the crew, and the ghosts they all carry with them.

Calypso, half-siren who feels nothing where desire is supposed to burn. Rafiel, raised in a brothel and trained to kill, searching for an identity beyond the blade. And disgraced surgeon Kael Abrams, holding them together with secrets of his own.
