Merchant of Secrets: Tales from the Forged Realms

Captain Aeloc Sücram is sent on a final mission by the Mercantile Lords. His task: to transport a mysterious cargo across the Death Straits, a deadly stretch of water that has a reputation for swallowing ships in its tumultuous waters. His reward: freedom from indentured servitude. However, events take a dark turn when, through an act of defiance, he discovers what lies within the cargo hold of his ship—and an assignment for freedom soon becomes a fight for survival.
