Eraedia Haelorus is cursed. Not her fault, her family decided it would be a good idea to go against the wishes of a sea goddess. Spoiler: it wasn't.
She even had her whole future planned.
Political alliances. Royal duties. A life mapped out from birth.
Then pirates took everything.
Captured at sea, branded, collared, and sold into slavery, Rae is thrust into a brutal world where titles mean nothing and freedom has a price. Surrounded by thieves, slavers, and rival pirate crews, she clings to the only thing they cannot take from her: who she is.
But when her defiance draws the attention of the infamous Pirate King, Rae finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power, loyalty, and survival. As tensions rise across the seas and old loyalties begin to fracture, she must decide who she can trust-and how much she is willing to sacrifice to reclaim her freedom.
Because surviving captivity may be the easy part.
Keeping her spirit intact is another matter entirely.
