About this ebook
Aboard the ship Wanderlight, the crew ventures beyond familiar waters, where navigation becomes uncertain and the map begins to shift in ways no one can fully explain. As the journey progresses, Elias is drawn deeper into the mystery of a guide that seems to respond to the voyage itself.
What begins as an exploration gradually turns into a test of perception, direction, and trust in what is known.
