"And on the eighth day, a bark was espied... Full sheet, though the wind had no breath... A sea-devil carrack, fell cargo inside... Bound for the court of King Death."

—from a Tilean mariner's chantey[1a]

When infamous pirate captain Luka Silvaro returns to reclaim his craft and crew, he is given the most important – and lucrative – assignment of his career: to defeat a monstrous daemon lord that haunts the Old World's oceans.

The oceans of the Old World have fallen silent. The waves are haunted by the Butcher Ship, a nightmare vessel manned by zombies and captained by a daemon lord. Its ghastly crew bring about a reign of terror on the high seas, killing anyone they encounter. When infamous pirate captain Luka Silvaro returns to reclaim his craft and crew, he is given the most important - and lucrative - assignment of his career. Supported by the Prince of Luccini, Silvaro knows he will be able to claim a king's ransom if he can defeat the daemon lord. But he will have to face treachery from within, the dangers of the high seas and the Chaos-infested crew of the Butcher Ship if he is to earn his reward.

Trivia[]

During the novel the year in which the events take place is never specified even if it is almost implied that its the 26th century IC, this leaves some doubts as to who actually is the Prince of Luccini in the novel.
