Summary
Nothing is more seductive than knowledge.
Preel has more than she ever hoped for: the love of pirate
captain Kevril Longbright, a home aboard the corsair
Scourge, devoted friends, and freedom from slavery.
Her mystical truthsayer talent – once a curse exploited
by cruel masters – is now a boon to aid the pirates'
missions. The future is bright…as long as her nature
remains a secret.
But keeping a secret in the city of Haven is nigh
impossible. Jhavika Keshmir has spies everywhere, and her attention is
fixed on Kevril Longbright. Possessed of an enchanted scourge
and the avarice of a dragon, Jhavika intends to rule the Blood
Sea someday. For that, she requires a navy, and who better to
recruit a privateer armada than a pirate? But her alliance with
Kevril is contentious; she resents his escape from her magical
control and vows to learn how he did it. Now, Preel is caught between the man she loves and the woman
who would be queen, between love and hate, truth and lies. Imprisoned by doubt, her reality shattered, only the truth
will set her free…
