From Varna to Whitby. The Demeter has made many trips like this.

All this he's done before, it's routine, a constant, like the tides.Yet there's something different, something wrong. There are odd nightmares, unsettling omens and fear. For there is something in the air, something in the night, someone stalking the ship.Contains mature themes.
