They barely escaped Farlight Prison, but there is no time to recover. Ronin battles both physical ailments and the trauma of being trapped in Nathaniel Pike’s care. Meanwhile, Maeve hunts for the truth after learning that everything Varric told her was a lie. Neither of them are coping well, but the fate of Farlight Isles depends on them. Their relationship will weather this storm, right?
Each new destination unlocks more of Maeve’s memories as they explore the far corners of the Isles. Merrows, salties, and cutthroat pirates greet them at every turn. The stakes are higher than before, but what choice do they have?
Will their love be enough to withstand the trauma they’ve endured, or will their new relationship crack under the pressure?
Maeve Cross never felt like a princess. She didn’t belong in a high tower, married off to the highest bidder. She ached for freedom. A longing for the sea that she didn’t understand. After being pushed over the edge, she runs, taking her destiny in her own hands for the first time in her life.
She stows away on a pirate ship because she would rather walk the plank than share her awful husband’s bed.
Captain Leviathan has three goals in life: keep his crew alive, fill their pockets, and protect them from the Cross family of tyrants. He never accounted for Maeve. Not once.
They can’t help themselves by the bonds of fate that tie them together. Not even as they deny each other their attraction.
After all, a tyrant’s daughter and a scorned captain couldn’t possibly work. Could it?
But fate has other plans as the mysteries surrounding Farlight Isles start to unravel like a loose thread. Every new thread leaves Maeve questioning everything her father taught her as it challenges her own identity.
Despite it all, Maeve saw that the only constant… was Captain Leviathan.
World-building and developing intricate histories in her novels are some of her favorite things to do. She also grew up on classics like The Lord of the Rings and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which have inspired her writing. Developing complicated lore and having moments of happiness are vital to the stories. Also, humor plays a big part. As dark as things will get, readers can always hold out for that moment of happiness to make it worth it.
During her days, you can find her trying out a new recipe to figure out how to describe it in her writing, daydreaming, or annoying her husband by telling him exactly how the lighting conveys emotion in every movie they watch together.
