If you saw the title and thought "Odyssey" or "Aeneid," you weren't too far off. The basic idea is this:
The city of Relar lies burning. A lone ship escaped, carrying a captain and her passengers away from the wreckage of their homes and the enemy which even now persues them. The Incorrigible Turtle is a fine ship, but she's seen better days and is in bad need of repairs, a stop that will have to be made before the travelers can find themselves a new home.
Meanwhile, the crew is facing its own difficulties. You see, the captain is a woman. It's nothing remarkable nowadays, but then and in that part of the world it was unheard of. Grumbling among the older passengers, people who have never been more than fifty miles from their birthplace, gets louder every day.
In a veritable sea of monsters with countless islands infested with evil between the ship and her goal, how can they make it?
(Sound interesting?)
