Mascardi Berio, a former Knight of the kingdom of Lothen, despises landmen.

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.

When a mysterious black mark appears on a young sailor's hand, he's thrust into a legacy of death, betrayal, and forgotten magic. Now hunted by sea and shadow, he must uncover the truth behind the curse - or be claimed by it like the pirates before him.
