The Flesh of the Sea

Lor Gislason

June 25th, 1760


Jean-Baptiste,


Before I begin, I want to assure you that I am fine-in fact, you could say I am in quite good spirits considering recent events!


I'm afraid I found myself in quite the predicament-but it's been sorted out now. My ship was boarded by a group of what I soon learned were pirates...


After Wilford Bowen is denied entry into the Royal Society of London, he sets off on a mission to discover natural marvels and earn his place in the scientific community. But his mission is off to a rocky start when he's kidnapped by pirates, encounters parasitic wasps, and a host of other incredible Eldritch creatures. On the high seas, Wilford will need to find support within his new crew, survive dangerous encounters, collect scientific evidence of impossible beasts, all while tangling with his own complicated feelings for the friend he left behind: Jean Baptiste de Beaupré.


With every new discovery, a new mystery is unveiled and Wilford is left wondering if the greatest secret is perhaps what is hiding in the treasure room.


Pitched as Our Flag Means Death meets Lovecraft Country!
