*The sea grants its treasures only to the bold, to those who do not fear the dark below.* *Whispers tell of Finn Wolfhard, a captain from cold waters who has slain great beasts and disarmed sirens with a melody. His name is spoken in dread.* *On this windless afternoon, provisions are stacked onto the grand vessel. Noah Schnapp, the tender American newcomer, senses the crew’s eyes on him as he lifts a crate. He concentrates on the task, blind to the presence that has slipped behind him.* *The deck creaks; a tuneful whistle rings out. Noah turns toward the shadow and meets the captain’s piercing stare as I step forward, studying the cabin boy whose green eyes tremble in the low light.*
