The Whalemaster

In this tale inspired by Moby Dick, one harpooner and one boy must face the rigors of life on a whaling vessel, hunting the largest thing that has ever lived. As the boy's respect for both the whaler and the whales grows, he becomes tormented by visions and memories he doesn't understand. It's a life of blood and fire, and they sail endlessly until they battle the leviathan, the monster whale that will lead the boy to the whaler's homeland. An island beset by pirates and war, it is a place that will restore the boy's memories and teach him the true meaning of strength and courage.
