BOOK INFORMATION
Ida has an adventurer’s heart. When she followed that heart, she left behind the jungle island queendom ruled by her mother and ended up on board a merchant ship, with nothing but the blade in her hand and the magic in her bones to protect her. One, she’s great at using. The other, not so much.
Carrington’s magic tells him there’s something different about this girl who carries herself like a queen but wields a blade like a warrior. His magic also tells him she needs more protection from someone—he can’t figure out who—on her crew than even she realizes. But keeping her alive is a heavier task than he bargained for, and unraveling her secrets turns out to be a full-time job of its own.
After a bad contract leaves the ship in dire financial straits, Ida needs all the allies she can get, and a sailor who seems to know too much is more alluring than she’d like to admit. Before the two of them can untangle their feelings for one another, Ida needs to save the ship, and that might mean heading for the one place she never thought she’d ever see again: Home.
BOOK INFORMATION
Ida is still running. Running from her grief. Running from her responsibilities. But when her trial before The Council doesn’t go the way she expected, she stops running. They’ve branded her a pirate, and she’s not just accepting it… she’s embracing it.
Far beneath the savage seas that swept him off his ship, Galvin has been recuperating among his mother’s kin, the mermaids, while plotting his escape and chance to return to Ida.
Ida is ready to take what’s owed her, and Galvin is fighting to win her back. But when word of her sister’s disappearance reaches her, Ida realizes her revenge is just one piece of a much bigger plot.
