From the multi-award-winning author of A Monster Calls comes a haunting tale of power and obsession that turns the story of Moby Dick upside down. "Call me Bathsheba." The whales of Bathsheba's pod live for the hunt. Led by the formidable Captain Alexandra, they fight a never-ending war against men. Then the whales attack a man ship, and instead of easy prey they find the trail of a myth, a monster, perhaps the devil himself... With their relentless Captain leading the chase, they embark on the final hunt, one that will forever change the worlds of whales and men.
小白鯨 Bathsheba 從小被預言,生為獵殺而活。親眼目睹母親被人類無情虐殺後,命運齒輪彷彿開始運轉。在白鯨船長引領下,牠們對人類發起「最後」戰役,這將永遠改變白鯨和人類的世界。故事情節流轉,配搭衝擊視覺的插圖,形塑出充滿海水和血腥味的魔幻寓言,乘載著靈魂、命定和煉獄的重量。
