Sebastian Tanner, once a simple midwife, always put his faith in the warmth and light of the Sun. Serving honourably as a soldier in a war that ravaged his homeland, took his eye and made hime one of the most wanted men in the Empire. Finding himself in a bind Sebastian takes on the role of doctor on the pirate ship the Golden Gull. Where he cares for the rag tag crew. Among them is the harsh and deadly Maria, who no one’s dares speak to or about.  Like him, she seems bound to the ship, waiting for someone to return. Though who or what remains to be seen. All Sebastian knows is there is something not quiet right about this wild woman, and yet he is strangely draw to her. Maybe it’s the loneliness and isolation, maybe it’s something else entirely, either way these two seem stuck with each other.
