Synopsis
Emily Windsnap and the Ship of Lost Souls centers on a strange vessel that appears out of nowhere and disappears again each day, unsettling the people of Atlantis and drawing Emily into their concerns. Asked to help investigate the recurring apparition, Emily works alongside the citizens of the ancient underwater city to determine where the ship comes from, why it keeps vanishing, and what connection it has to Atlantis's past. As she digs into the mystery, Emily encounters clues suggesting the ship and its unseen passengers are tied to old, half-forgotten history that the people of Atlantis would rather not confront. The investigation pulls Emily into unfamiliar corners of the underwater world, requiring her to piece together fragments of legend and rumor while the ship's daily reappearance keeps the danger and uncertainty ever present.
