Someone who wakes up in the captain's cabin of a ship tossed by a storm discovers that he is in an alien world and an alien body. In addition, three sets of memories, albeit incomplete, are crowded in his head. There is no time to worry about this - the evil deity, who has collected the fragments of three souls in the body of a sentient being known as the Seer of Kaed Nua, will not tolerate delay in the mission assigned to the Seer. He can only gather his strength and move forward, towards everything that the Deadfire archipelago, full of dangers, has in store for him: adventures and hardships, defeats and victories, hatred and, oddly enough, love.
