Prepare to set sail with this riveting romantasy--the first in a duology--that's filled with complex characters, sizzling chemistry, and evocative action. A must-read for fans of Daughter of the Pirate King and Fable!

Ximena Reale has spent most of her life training at La Academia to join the Cazadores, seafaring hunters who track down pirates. But her future is uncertain, thanks to her parents' questionable reputation. They were traitorous pirates, and though they were executed when Ximena and her sister were young, they permanently damaged the Reale name in the eyes of the Luzan Empire.

Ability alone won't make Ximena a Cazadoro--or earn her the coveted Cazadoro cloak. So, when the legendary pirate Gasparilla returns and captures the Empire's queen, Ximena offers to bring back the queen and the notorious pirate in exchange for a cloak. But there's a catch: Only one cloak is available, and Ximena's competition is Dante, an infuriating yet handsome classmate with mysterious motives.

With their futures on the line, Ximena and Dante set out on a dangerous quest across the high seas. But no matter how far Ximena sails, her family's legacy haunts her, and her exposure to a world outside of la academia leads her to question the very laws she's always fought to uphold. Is it possible she's been on the wrong side all along?
