Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The sea has always taken what it's owed. This time, it gave something back.

Captain Silas Thorne has one voyage left in him, and a legend to chase: Isla del Devorador - the Devourer's Isle - where a fortune waits behind chains no living hand has broken. His crew calls it superstition. The natives call it a grave. Thorne calls it destiny.

What his crew finds beneath the island is neither treasure nor myth. It is older than the chains meant to hold it, and hungrier - a consciousness that has slumbered since before the stars had names, waiting for a greed reckless enough to let it out.

When Thorne finally breaks the seal, what escapes doesn't stay on the island. It sails home with him, in the hold of the Albatross, in the bruised color bleeding into the sky, in the whispers that start as a murmur in a dockside tavern and end as the quiet, spreading conviction that the self was never truly one's own.

The Miasma of Malice is a novel of cosmic dread in the tradition of maritime gothic horror - a slow-burn descent from one captain's avarice into a civilization-wide unraveling, where the real horror was never the monster. It was always the door.
