1985. The Baptism marks the end of the hazing rites — a night of trial, humiliation, and strange exhilaration. For Him, it is the threshold he cannot avoid, the moment that will define his place among his peers.

Soon after, a cruise across the North Sea becomes more than a high-life event. When catastrophe strikes at sea, he is forced to act and his courage alters forever the way others see him, and the way he sees himself.

Between jealousy and devotion, control and surrender, pride and desire, he must navigate not only the waters of the North Sea, but also the turbulent depths of love and friendship.

The Passage is the third volume of the Series Stéphanie: a tale of youth, power, and awakening, where every crossing is a test of heart as much as body.
