Tales of a fearsome group of pirates have spread like wildfire in the island archipelago of Stramtor. Tales whispered of a ship that sails under a cruel captain who kills all he meets. Tales whispered to young children in the dead of night of adventure and glory. Tales that cannot possibly be true. A prince whose heart sings for the sea who is willing to destroy himself for his people. A prince whose heart has been promised to a woman who he has never met. A prince who will let his country chain his heart to the land if it means they are safe. What happens when tales are true? What happens when not all tales are what they seem?
