On Revelry Island, eighteen-year-old Anya has mastered the art of pleasing others. A songwriter, she was raised by her boss, Byron, with exacting intent and trained to be a perfect, dependable, obedient product, meant to be presented to the world. And, just as Byron planned, caught between the conflicting expectations of her sly boss, pirate captains, and military officers, Anya has learned to keep the delicate balance of these three volatile organizations. Trained from the age of six in nothing but music, art, and drama, Anya writes music and performs to ensure the survival of Revelry Island. And, twelve years later, she cannot argue with the results of her raising: world fame, professional prestige, and relative safety. And she is damn good at her job. Yet deep in her heart, in a place she keeps hidden from her friends and coworkers, Anya dreams of a life outside of Revelry Island. She only ever shares her dreams with Jaxon. Her seafaring boyfriend is second in command to the most powerful pirate in the world. Yet, following orders from his captain, Jaxon isn't allowed to whisk Anya away from Revelry Island. Heart closed to her dreams, Anya is surviving until Tristan, a charming, flirtatious adventurer, barges into her office and challenges her to dream. With Tristan's endless enthusiasm and audacious spirit to encourage her, Anya opens the small place in her heart where she has always dreamed of adventure. Then Tristan and his crew unknowingly set into motion a string of events that tragically upend Anya's situation, forcing her to give up her music. So, with the help of a sarcastic conductor, a wary adventure crew, a noble, resolute first mate, and a competitive sea captain and a dutiful pirate captain, who felt an immediate disdain for each other the moment they met, is Anya willing to fight and risk everyone's lives for the future she has always dreamed of? Or will she safely live her life for the satisfaction of others?
