Devourer
Somewhere off the coast of Peru, 1879.
Half a world away from home, Bo is rescued from a shipwreck by the crew of the Ayar, a ship manned by runaways and deserters with a mute captain and an enigmatic first mate. But mutiny festers in the bilge, and between luck spells and sea dragons, surviving on the high seas becomes a matter of 'kill or be killed' — eat or be eaten.
What is a captain to a god?
What is a god to a cook?
A 30-minute weird historical fantasy with eldritch horror sympathies.
