“There are places history was never meant to find.”
“You're conflating mapped with understood.”
A history professor's thirty-year obsession sends Eric and a group of young scholars aboard the Azure Titan, past the port of Bissau and toward coordinates erased from every modern chart.

The Azure Titan
A grand ship pulled into uncharted storms.
Port of Bissau
