Description - Treasures of the Deep: More Tales of the Ship Kings by Andrew McGahan

He turned: the scapegoat was pointing a fleshy arm directly down at the water, and following it Roland saw a mass of pale, stringy lines suddenly seething up from the deeps to surface all about the ship.
He froze in disbelief. It couldn't be-
But then the cry went up from the main deck.
'Ropes! White ropes!'
And so the horror began.

A ship and its crew held in thrall by an ancient sea creature, a young girl blinded by foresight, a scapegoat with a gift to foresee death - these haunting short stories set in the Four Isles, the setting of Andrew McGahan's highly acclaimed Ship Kings series, tell fascinating tales of tall ships, ancient grudges and the full significance of the meaning of indefinite survival in an ocean that holds as many mysteries as it does drops of water.

'A fitting end to the epic Ship Kings series, Treasures of the Deep moves with mysterious grandeur through lost oceans and wild. Its captains and crew, both real and ghostly, find equal parts horror and wonder in their path. These are some deep, dark, fantastical adventures. Do you dare to set sail?' -Margo Lanagan

'I didn't think I could love Andrew McGahan's Ship Kings universe more than I already do. But these taut, thrilling and powerfully imagined stories catapulted me back into the excitement and delight of the original quartet. Perfect for long-time fans or for those new to the series, they're a wonderful reminder of the ambition and intelligence that made McGahan such an essential writer.' -James Bradley
