A ship catches fire in the middle of the North Atlantic, leaving one sailor stranded alone in a lifeboat with almost no food, barely any water, and something in the corner that won’t stop staring at him. Each night, shadows circle the boat, footsteps cross the roof, and scorched fingers scratch at the hatch from outside. As a violent storm closes in, he’s forced to confront what really happened aboard the Santa Sangre—and why the dead may have followed him into the sea.
