The world is not as it once was, and darkness has robbed Princess Isobel Harriet of Lakeland of both her rightful crown and her desire to wear it. A promise to her dying father has forced her to take up the decades-old rebel cause against a tyrant determined to command all the islands and put to death the last of the old royal family. Captain Eleanor Bordel of Tumala could be a powerful ally but she is leery of any would-be leader who is reluctant to command and has done seemingly little to earn the respect of her followers. While she too balks at the chokehold Blacken and his sons have on all of them, she is unconvinced that the time to strike back is now. Her immediate attraction to the rebel leader only complicates the choice she has to make. Battles on the high seas will sweep you away into this passionate saga of danger and romance.
