The Voyage Begins — Kristen S. Walker

Captain Mynta and her motley crew of monster hunters have fallen on hard times. To save her ship, she's agreed to escort Mage Ameyron and his team of researchers to capture some of Seirenia's deadliest monsters. To succeed, they'll have to work together -- but everyone on board has something to hide, and one has a secret that could doom them all.

In episode one, “The Voyage Begins,” Captain Mynta welcomes the researcher mage on board her ship -- only to find out that her newest client is more than she bargained for. Ameyron wants to get closer to his subjects than even a seasoned monster hunter would dare. Tensions rise between crew and passengers who question the captain's leadership. But when a dangerous sea serpent lurks beneath the ocean waves, Mynta must discover which one of them is also a traitor before time runs out.
