Eighteen-year-old Maquesta Kar-Thon takes on an unusual task when, as the new captain of Perechon, he embarks on a journey to complete a mission at the stake of his father’s life. Attat, the minotaur lord, slowly gave the girl's father poison and did not give her antidote until Maq brought him the dangerous sea monster, the morkot, for the lord's private zoo. During his mission, Maq must not only face the perils, but also prove to his own crew that he is worthy of a captain’s officer. From the Warriors series we can get to know the heroes and evildoers of the Spear War.
