More about the book

A sense of restlessness drives Saltash to decide on a sea voyage, expressing his fatigue with land life to his companion, Captain Larpent. Larpent, who finds little joy on land, silently agrees to the adventure. Saltash, characterized by his striking mismatched eyes and a face that reveals his turbulent thoughts, carries a hint of royal lineage. Once known as "the merry monarch," he grapples with his identity and the weight of expectations as he prepares to leave behind the familiar for the unknown.
