When Captain Erasmus Hawthorn took command of the Victoria, he expected hardship, not a mutiny. The ship was old, her crew half-trained, and her loyalties uncertain.

As storms rise and the line between honor and survival thins, Erasmus finds his crew turned corsair and his conscience tested by a sea that answers to no crown. Amid blood, salt, and the hush between thunder, trust becomes a currency more perilous than gold-and somewhere in that quiet, a bond takes root that could damn or deliver them both.
