About

Kael believed in neither the king's commands nor the blessings of the gods. The only things he trusted were his sword, his ship, and his own will to survive until the end. His ship, the Asphodel, had passed through countless islands and kingdoms with dozens of crewmen. They had plundered gold and treasure, carried princes fleeing from war, and narrowly returned alive from islands cursed by the gods. However, the most fearsome thing at sea was neither monster nor storm. It was the sirens. Sirens did not appear in specific locations, making them difficult to prepare for. Because of this, Kael had lost his comrades to a siren's song long ago. Since that day, he never lent an ear to any singing. Then one night. Upon a black sea that had swallowed even the moonlight, the Asphodel was sailing. The wind died down, and the waves were eerily calm. And then, a song drifted up from beneath the sea. The crew members stopped moving one by one. Adrian immediately ordered them to cover their ears, but it was already too late. From the darkness beyond the bow, a single siren revealed itself.
