The sea has always belonged to India Crowe, or perhaps she has always belonged to it.
Raised in the shadows of piracy after being rescued from the East India Trading Company as a child, India has grown into a sharp-tongued, fearless thief with a reputation for slipping through every noose meant to claim her. She believes herself lucky. Untouchable. Whatever strange resilience runs through her blood, she wears it like armor, never questioning where it comes from-only that it keeps her alive.
When she crosses paths once more with Captain Jack Sparrow, old debts resurface alongside new dangers. A bounty has been placed on "Turner's child," drawing the attention of India.
Drawn into the hunt for the Black Pearl, India finds herself sailing alongside Will Turner, who knows nothing of the price on his head, and Thomas Turner, a well-meaning but inexperienced young man whose steady heart proves more dangerous to India than any blade.
As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, India walks a razor's edge between past and present, between the man who helped raise her and the captain who saved her, between the life she could have on land and the one the sea keeps calling her back to. When the truth of the Pearl's curse is revealed, so too is the first crack in India's belief that she is merely lucky, and not something far more dangerous.
Because some things cannot be owned.
Some things can only be stolen.
And the sea always takes its due.
