The Stein Box is a wooden puzzle cube, said to be a relic that predates The Great Floods. Legend claims that the mystery within the box leads to a great treasure that once tore the ancient world apart. Two years ago, Sam stole the Stein Box from Mr. Regibald under Captain Bloody Anne's orders. Ever since, Sam has struggled with the task to solve the puzzle.

Meanwhile, Sam's life whirls with the countless duties as first mate. New issues appear faster than she can smooth them. Anne's impatience over the Stein Box grows, and disgruntled crewmen question her abilities. Rival crews seek revenge for past transgressions. A mercenary is determined to reclaim the Stein Box. Sam must grapple the consequences barreling toward her before dissension among the crew lands a knife in her back.

Follow murder, mayhem, and moral ambiguity in the second installment of The Legend of The Downdraft.
