Synopsis:

Going to be lazy at the moment and just copy paste what I put in the blurb on my NaNo page.

The once famous marauder Alyssa is being dragged out of retirement by her protege for just one last adventure. The "Potage de Lune", or Moon Soup, is a legendary elixir that ensures eternal youth and the two of them set off to find it. And while they're at it Alyssa rekindles feeling she forgot she even had, and perhaps teaches her young protege, Eliza, a few more lessons along the way.

Excerpt:


The last few paragraphs:

Marc wiped some sweat and soot off his face with a rag, which he then stuffed into his pocket. He stood up straight and stretched his arms over his head. He gave the boilers a once over.
“Alright everyone lets head up to the deck. The boilers look like they’ll be fine for now, and Captain E wanted us to guard the ship in case Eric decides to try and claim it again.” He said to the workers. They all set down their tools and gratefully went up into the night air to cool off. Marc suspected that as long as Alyssa and Eric were at dinner then Eric wouldn’t try anything. But if Eliza’s plan ended up being a little too loud then there would be trouble.
