description: Lucian's father called them faraway things those mysterious objects orphaned upon the windswept shore their stories long lost in the shroud of ocean fog. Lucian's discovery on the beach this particular day though is no ordinary faraway thing. It's a cutlass: strong shiny and powerful. As its history comes to light Lucian faces a choice: cling to the sword he loves or accept a gift that shines farther wider and deeper than he could have ever dreamed.
