When faced with an even bigger threat than their simple rivalry, these two groups must unite and face their enemies together.

Warnings for: Language, violence, death
There are quite a few characters in this story, so if you need help keeping them straight we are going to release a separate book with their information!
Also, this story includes a lotttt of sailing around, which is all fine and dandy except neither of us know anything about sailing. We try to research stuff but we know it can't match up with someone who has real experience, and we know that we got stuff wrong in some parts. If you have any suggestions to improve accuracy we'd be happy to hear them!!
