The Mirrorwind Beacon

A fractured signal pulses from the Sea of Glass—an ancient beacon no cartographer has charted in a century—and it carries the voiceprint of Ciren Vale's missing father. Armed with a salvaged wind-skiff and a map etched in thermal ink, Ciren launches across mirage-laden waters where raiders hunt for the same prize. But reaching the beacon means confronting a choice no explorer returns from unchanged: claim its power, or surrender it to light the way for those still lost.
