The Tale Unknown

"The Tale Unknown"

By Drew Ray

A pirate's journey. A son's vow. Seven lost souls in search of purpose, truth, and a tale untold.

Set sail into The Tale Unknown, an epic narrative poem that follows a fisherman's son turned captain on a harrowing, poetic voyage across uncharted seas. After tragedy strikes, a young man gathers a crew of outcasts-each carrying their own grief, skills, and dreams-and ventures forth to discover the seven mythical lands whispered about in his father's stories.

Told in immersive verse, The Tale Unknown blends adventure, fantasy, and deeply human emotion through:

Haunting log entries from the captain

Character vignettes like Smith, The Cook, The Widow, and The Right Hand Man

Lyrical tales of discovery, transformation, and resilience

An epic voyage through hope, loss, and redemption

With shades of Homeric epic, pirate legend, and modern fantasy poetry, this is a journey not of treasure-but of meaning.

If you enjoy poetic storytelling, pirate adventures, and tales of found family, this is your next read.
