Wake of Ashes

Lured aboard an illegal trawler by the promise of a living wage, Erik Vance finds himself trapped in a floating hell where law dissolves at the waterline. A brutal mutiny offers a fleeting taste of vengeance, but stranded on the high seas with a dying crew and the world’s indifference pressing in, he learns that a fire fed too slowly burns only the ruins it sought to save. By the time the courts in Nordland finally speak his name, there is nothing left to rebuild.
