The Age of Exploration has dawned, and with it a disturbing mystery: why do those sent to the New World return hideously scarred and hopelessly mad... if they return at all?

In the three years since his mentor's disappearance, the Captain has desperately sought a ship to search these strange new lands for the Admiral. When the King finally grants his wish, his adventure - and terrors - begin.

Through strange waters littered with evil omens, the Captain battles otherworldly creatures to arrive at last in a land permeated by an eerie, unnatural darkness overrun by unknowable horrors.

As the Captain and his crew struggle to survive, he begins a different journey of his own. Traveling deep into his past, he will struggle with his own history, and will question everything he's ever known about himself, and the man who brought him all this way.

This adventure will reveal questions in his soul - if unknowable monsters reign in the skies above, can God be trusted? How can he hold onto his humanity, or his sanity, in the face of such horror? And what if the greatest monsters are the ones we bury deep inside ourselves, always itching to rise?
