The Kraken's curse has stalked the seas for centuries, turning all who encounter it into twisted, monstrous creatures. Calla and her crew of monster hunters are the only ones who can break the ancient spell. But when the Kraken's latest victims include Calla's own crew, she must navigate treacherous waters and face her own dark past to defeat the curse once and for all.
