Graves of the Void Sea (The Black Tide Chronicles Book 1)

In the haunted void-routes beyond mapped space, prisoner-turned-pirate Gideon Collins is taken aboard the dreaded prison-ship known as the Widowmaker — a vessel feared even among the Dreaded Fleet. Hooded, sharp-tongued, and carrying secrets from the doomed Harrowgate disaster, Gideon quickly discovers the ship is not merely a pirate warship, but an ancient containment engine built to imprison horrors beneath reality itself.When a breach opens deep within the lower hull, Gideon becomes entangled in a nightmare involving the mysterious Malachar, the monstrous Chain Warden, and the terrifying Pale Admiral — an immortal servant of the Abyss commanding a dead fleet from beyond dead-space. As drowned horrors board the Widowmaker and reality itself begins collapsing into a black ocean beneath the stars, Gideon learns the horrifying truth:The Abyss was never the true enemy.It was the prison.Marked by the sea after unknowingly opening a forbidden gate aboard the Harrowgate, Gideon becomes the key to either sealing or destroying the threshold between humanity and something far older than existence itself. Pursued by ancient cosmic forces and haunted by whispers beneath reality, he must descend below the black sea and confront the unimaginable thing beyond the gate before the stars themselves drown.Grimdark cosmic horror collides with brutal void piracy in this atmospheric LitRPG-infused epic filled with:haunted warships,dead fleets,ancient prison engines,abyssal gods,reality-breaking battles,and a hooded antihero standing between humanity and extinction.Because some doors should never be opened.And the sea remembers every face that does.
