The son of a legend.
The key to a curse.
The sea remembers.
Ten years after the infamous Edward Vance vanished beneath the waves with a stolen relic and a ship full of secrets, his son Thomas lives quietly in the shadows of Nassau's docks-building ships, burying bloodlines, and pretending the sea doesn't whisper his name.
But when an assassin comes calling and a stranger saves him with a pistol and a smile, Thomas is dragged into a storm of cursed relics, hunted names, and the legacy of a father who might not be as dead as the sea claimed.
Now pursued by Blackbeard, shadowed by the Crown, and thrown in with a pistol-tongued best friend, a secretive navigator, and a half-mad pirate captain, Thomas must cross the Devil's Spine to the island where it all began-and face what his father died to contain.
Because the Leviathan's Heart is waking.
And blood remembers blood.
