Robert ‘Rab’ Munro’s only refuge is the sea.

Aboard the Dundee clipper Grissel Jaffray, Munro’s sailor life of brawls and brothels is a familiar chaos, until a mysterious card inscribed with religious verses and a strange castaway challenge everything he knows.

As the Grissel Jaffray sails through storms both literal and spiritual, the card’s cryptic changes hint at a divine test. Munro believes that Death awaits him on land. Soon, he faces the Seven Deadly Sins personified among the crew – and in himself. With each choice, the veil between superstition and truth grows thinner.

A story of survival and faith, Malcolm Archibald’s THE BAY OF DECEPTIVE MIST is an allegorical adventure set on the high seas.
