History Retold

The sea. Thousands upon thousands of miles of empty water. The world’s oceans are as beautiful as they are deadly. If a ship encounters trouble far from land, there is little those onboard can do—except hope for rescue.

They can turn bright blue skies dark as the night. They can, in an instant, make entire cities disappear. They can crush the human spirit with unflinching indifference.
