She stole his relic. He made a deal. Now the sea wants both of them dead. Vaela Blackwake - rogue, first mate of The Ash Bloom, and whispered legend known as Whisperblade - lives by three rules: 1. Never miss the mark. 2. Never trust a rival pirate. 3. Never fall for the man trying to ruin you. But when cursed relics resurface and whispers of the Leviathan Queen stir, Vaela is forced to face the name she thought she'd buried at sea: Lysander Sarrin. Their past is tangled. Their goals are deadly. And the treasure? It could drown the world. Pirate fantasy. Enemies to lovers. Cursed cities. The sea remembers everything - and it never forgives.
