The Madness Below: Secrets Wrapped in Screams

Smuggler’s Cove is loud, lawless, and full of things best left unsaid. Which is exactly why he fits in. He scurries between ships and shadows, laughing when others run, collecting stories like teeth in a jar. Most dismiss him as a nuisance. Some call him a prophet. But all know this: when Toby Talc starts whispering about things in the fog and deals made with ash and fire—you should listen.

Because he’s seen something. Something no one should’ve. And while he might not remember it straight, it remembers him. He speaks of the Accord, of tunnels beneath the Cove, of crates that hum when touched and names that burn when spoken.

You could ignore him. Many do. But when the screaming starts—when the wrong shipment goes missing or the crew vanishes without a trace—you might wish you’d paid closer attention. Because Toby doesn’t just know where the bodies are buried. He might’ve helped bury them.
