The continuation of Risking The Rogues! (must read first!) Gage, the famous pirate captain of the Grey Ghost is still desperate for the weapon that will at last bring him vengeance against the wielder of many names - Ryker Vidaris, The Mage, the man who killed his wife. The very weapon the Scarlet Queen tempted him with and denied him; crossing him just as he crossed the one woman who he still needs, in more ways than his heart can admit... Clara is drowning under the weight of many new truths about her past while resisting the manipulations of Ryker, who insists she is destined to do his dirty work and kill the bloody monarch. With her once budding passion for a criminal flowered into a burning hatred, Clara never wants to see Gage again. But the Scarlet Queen has something she desperately wants as well - the son she thought she'd lost. Can Clara and Gage come together one last time to do what must be done in these Tempestuous Times?
