About the Book:
Truth is more dangerous than fictionā¦in this exhilarating upper YA fantasy that will capture fans of Shadow and Bone and Dark Water Daughter
In ancient times, the Elder Wrights breathed their magic into the fabric of the seven seas. Now what was once an ocean of plenty is slowly becoming a sea of death, and the Talināa race of hidden magesāare beginning to starve.
And for the first time ever, one of their own has no magic.
Ostracized by her own people, Nieve is certain that the old stories hide a missing piece of the puzzle. Itās just a matter of unlocking the secret.
But when a stranger comes sailing into their harbor, Nieveās world is suddenly blown wide open. Now sheās sailing on the seven seasāwith a too-charming, swashbuckling pirate, a group of strange misfits, and a woman who claims to be one of the Elder Wrights.
Itās like Nieve is living one of the stories sheās always lovedā¦only now, sheās weaving a legend of her own.
Except that the old tales donāt mention those journeys that end in tragedy, a kingās calculated interference, or a world poised on the tides of death.
And they certainly donāt mention mutineers with a talent for stealing a girlās heartā¦and lying all the while.
