Welcome to the world of Yath, a varied seascape teeming with immense creatures and rife with floating islands. Petsune is a devout priest, but he's from the despised nation of Coldor. His birth nation was the betrayer of the Alliance. Chapel is the captain of a strange crew on an even stranger ship called The Painful Lady, yet he fears being a leader. His father led the North War against Coldor when they betrayed the Alliance.The two strangers are brought together by Chapel's personal goal to right his father's wrongs, and each learns more about themselves and the dangerous, yet beautiful, world. Then, the King is murdered by Coldor assassins, and everyone's histories seem to collide. Chapel and Petsune will need to confront their past and, either let it dictate their future, or learn from it and use it to create their own path forward.SWELLS OVER STILL WATERS is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery, spiritual and interpersonal devotion, and confronting the past.
