The folly of the world

In 1421, the devastating Saint Elizabeth Flood reshapes Holland, leaving a desolate inland sea where towns once stood. Amidst this chaos, three unlikely conspirators—a deranged thug, a ruthless conman, and a half-feral girl—sail into the flooded realm. They seek unimaginable reward, but their alliance is fragile, threatened by greed, rage, and lust. In the island-city of Dordrecht, where theft, fraud, and murder are commonplace, their scheme may succeed, but survival is far from guaranteed.
