Sailing to Redoubt

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Be good. Or some dark night the sorcerers of Vente may come for you.

On the islands of the Tropic Sea, parents caution naughty children to behave, or risk that some dark night the sorcerers of the Vente might come to carry them off as well. The reputed fate of these very naughty children varies from island to island, but it is often whispered that they could well end up in a stew.
Navy lieutenant Taef Lang must have been a very naughty boy, for one soft, tropical night the Vente came and carried him off. And he certainly ended up in some very hot water.

Sailing to Redoubt is the story of his adventures in the company of two Vente Island sorceresses, Sella and Lessie Raah, on a quest to discover the secret of a legendary outpost of the world's first people, the Founders. Equipped with a map, a golden key, and a small yacht, they set sail across the bright, blue, and sometimes deadly, Tropic Sea.
