Will their love be enough to withstand the trauma they’ve endured?

Following the events of The Last Leviathan, Maeve and Ronin are off to unite the pirate monarchs across Farlight Isles before Varric takes the war to them.

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?

“Do you want to dance?”

“Yes,” I answered too quickly.

He grinned at me, pulling me with him over into the heart of the music. Then it occurred to me that I had no idea how to dance. I would purposefully step on the foot of every tutor at the castle. Eventually Varric stopped ordering the lessons. Unfortunately, that meant that I never learned how to dance properly.

What if I stepped on his foot?

Or tripped?

Or—

“Come here,” he rumbled, winding an arm around my waist and pulling me into his chest. I gasped when he spun me around.

I lost my balance, face burning up completely when I fell into his arms like a dead fish.

He chuckled, and I was so relieved he found my clumsiness endearing and not embarrassing. The melody rang through my bones, and I steadied myself. I threw my arms around his neck and tried to sway along with the music.

Dear Gods, I have absolutely no rhythm.

“You’re so charming,” he murmured. “But we’re not two virgins at our first festival.” He gripped my hips with either hand, pulling me so close that I could feel his breath against my lips.

My mouth watered, and my mind turned fuzzy for a moment before I responded, “This is my first festival, and I’ve never danced without the intention of stomping on my partner’s foot.”

He laughed. “That sounds like something you’d do.”

No one is going to save me, so I’m going to do it myself.

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.
