Synopsis

Decades after the Great Catastrophe—a meteor strike that melted ice caps and drowned half the world—technology has become a lifeline for the rich and a shackle for the poor.

Through this fractured world sails a nameless ghost ship, captained by Shiro. Rumored to be no more than a girl, Shiro ferries passengers across the poisoned waters, asking no names and telling no stories. Her unspoken code has kept her safe—until the disappearance of a powerful tycoon sends shockwaves through Caspia. As whispers grow, her passengers begin to speak, each bearing fragments of a tale that link Shiro to the missing tycoon.

Through their accounts, the truth behind Shiro’s past begins to surface. With her carefully guarded past unraveling, Shiro must decide: will she fight to keep her silence, or let the truth drag her under?

Hi everyone!

This story has been a labor of love since I started working on it at the end of November. Countless late nights (and a lot of caffeine!!) went into bringing it to life, and it has truly become something very special to me. I wanted to take my time drafting and editing most of the story before sharing it with you all.

Going forward, I'll be uploading new chapters daily* at 8PM PST.I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it! Thank you for your support!
