I Read Stories: Losing Heart Among The Tall
This is apparently a prequel story to a series I haven’t read. Thankfully it’s fairly self-contained; there are a couple of moments when you have to scramble to keep up, and early on I’m not really sure why someone trying to retire is quite so important (to set up a partnership in the main stories I think).
Anyway the ship Nightjar finds a merman who gasps out a word before expiring. Inevitably this leads to a plot with the reluctant former-pirates trying to gain control of the heart of the invincible ship Temperance.
There’s quite a bit of magic as well, weird stuff that changes things into legends and rumours and sea-stories.
