The blueprints for his newest ship have been stolen, just hours before they are to be revealed. Without them, his plans might sink before they ever sail. From the quiet docks to the thrum of hidden alleyways, you must chase whispers, dodge saboteurs and follow clues only fresh eyes can see. This is not just about wood and sails.
