For generations, the sailors of the Hundred Islands built their ships from the bones of sea dragons to wage endless war. The dragons disappeared, but the battle for supremacy continued. Opponents are trying to capture two main valuables: dragon bone for the construction of new ships and children, whose souls, after sacrifice, give the ships strength. And now the first dragon in centuries has been spotted in distant waters, and both sides see an opportunity to change the balance of power in their favor, because whoever gets it will win not only glory, but also war. The daughter of the supreme ruler is exiled to the ship of the dead. Under her command is a team of criminals sentenced to death. Is it possible for the damned to stop the war? Can the dishonest die with honor?
