Tragedy has struck the Kestrel, a merchant’s ship in the middle of a long voyage. A bloody battle between a monster and the crew has left the ship desolate. There are no survivors save for a single crew member, and a single passenger. Cort knows he’s not human anymore.

Carmen isn’t sure what Cort is, either. She just knows he’s dangerous, and she’s not taking any chances. She has a system – a brutal one. No amount of begging from the creature in the brig will get through to her. But as time ticks on with no rescue in sight, Cort’s hunger grows, and Carmen’s resolve begins to fade…
