Freedom has a price. For Samara Davolos, it’s paid in stolen gold and broken rules.
Samara escaped the suffocating grip of the Majestic Isles three months ago, trading prayers to dead gods for sea shanties and the wild freedom of pirate life aboard The Pursuer. But when Captain Baz Blackwater needs her knowledge of the realm’s sacred customs to pull off an impossible heist, Samara must return to the world she swore she’d never see again.
One engagement party. One considerable dowry. One chance to prove she belongs among the crew.
What should be a simple job spirals into chaos when the heist goes sideways. With guards closing in and the captain’s trust on the line, Samara must use her quick wit, knowledge of Isle customs, and one particularly reckless plan involving a swamp to get the crew out alive. She’s out to prove she’s more than just the girl who scrubs the decks.
But as swords clash and loyalties are tested, Samara realizes the greatest treasure she’s fighting for isn’t gold. It’s the freedom to choose her own destiny.
And she’ll be damned if she lets anyone take that away.
