What is this story about?
Legends rule the seas. Power conquers kingdoms. But the sea always takes its due.
Danna Chadwick knows the sea’s price—and she’s paid it in blood. Heiress to a legendary pirate lineage and commander of her island’s fleet, she’s spent years defending her people from the sea dragon that left her with scars both seen and hidden. But when a brutal sea battle binds her fate to the North Sea’s most dangerous pirate, the walls she’s built threaten to crumble. With her heart caught between vengeance and desire, Danna must decide if the future she’s fought for is worth the cost—or if risking everything for the pirate king will be the choice that breaks her.
Robert "The Ruthless" Jaymes has always been destined for power—but destiny doesn’t guarantee loyalty. With the death of his father, the legendary Pirate King of the North Sea, Robert inherits more than a crown—he inherits enemies, traitors, and a legacy soaked in blood. Determined to unite the seas under his rule, he’ll stop at nothing to claim what is owed. But when his ambitions collide with a fierce island captain who answers to no one, Robert discovers that some treasures are harder to claim—and far more dangerous to keep.
He’s the pirate king who takes what he wants.
She’s the captain who refuses to kneel.
Together, they’ll either conquer the seas—or destroy each other.
With alliances built on blood and betrayals lurking beneath the waves, Danna must decide if her destiny lies anchored to the island she swore to protect or with the pirate who threatens to steal her heart. And Robert must choose between the crown he’s fought for and the woman who could cost him everything.
