Nine individuals, each with their own story, end up crossing paths with each other---and learn that their stories may not be so disconnected after all.
Odile Kestrel, the doctor on a scavenger pirate ship, and her brother Marcello Kestrel---who is the captain of said ship; Phillipa Featherstone, a botany professor that studies "man-eating plants;" Conate Hawkins, a deserter of war that fled his fallen kingdom of Lurac; Ta'ashiri, who ran away from home to travel and experience the world; Kaekil, a pirate that was one of three survivors in a shipwreck---and is also the captain's chosen successor; Tethys, a contemplative that survived being thrown into the sea as a sacrificial maiden; Lurania Love, a bounty hunter disguised as an art merchant in order to track down her kidnapped brother; and Herbert, an "entertainer" that is paying back his medical debt after his own heart nearly killed him.
Everything changes the moment they meet, and that's only just the beginning.

Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way.

This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!Complete
