Navigating treacherous seas is perilous, but navigating love is even more dangerous. When Elena’s merchant ship is attacked by ruthless pirates, she is torn from her life and imprisoned aboard the Kraken’s Revenge. Forced to serve the captain’s cruel daughters, Elena’s dream of escape fades like the distant shore. Survival means obeying orders without question, but the fire in her heart refuses to be extinguished. Everything changes when a new prisoner is thrown into the brig—a dashing sailor named Harlan, whose defiancé matches Elena’s own. Their connection is immediate, but the captain’s daughters are just as captivated by Harlan’s charm. As a forbidden romance kindles in the darkness of their confinement, Elena dares to dream of freedom once more. But danger looms when Elena is sold to another pirate with sinister intentions. Now burdened with a secret that could change the course of history, Elena must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect Harlan and herself. As she navigates the treacherous waters of betrayal and desire, Elena must choose between the liberty she craves and the love she cannot deny.
