SEQUEL TO EMPRESS OF THE SEA.
After losing her ship and her crew to Cronas and Kronos, Aeryn Branche-no longer captain of the White Crow-must learn to move on. But more than that, she has revenge to plan. Aeryn will take down Cronas and Kronos and whoever else gets in her way, even if it means she has to fall with them. Thankfully, she has the Black Egret to provide support, but unfortunately, dealing with its captain, Sehyun Han is a whole other story.
On the other hand, Prince Juele Fiore, once again trapped in his own home, must find a way to stop his father, the King of Auber from waging war against Tereline. But of course, nothing is easy. Juele will have to climb up the ranks and earn access to his father's war council to tear his plan down from within.
Princess Maya Djord, now an escapee from Auber's dungeons, runs into a friend of Han's: Marty. With him, she'll have to return to the Black Egret and inform Sehyun Han of the war to come. But that's not the only thing on the princess's plate. She has the duty of finding Iona, Reyna, and Illorin who were separated from the group upon her arrest.
With everyone separated and nothing but pain coming their way, is there even a token of hope to look forward to?
