"Station Eleven meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this darkly funny dystopian romantasy."

Fight to save the ones you love. Learn to save yourself.

Bird has struggled her whole life. Born in a brutal waterworld where survival depends on the ocean, she has spent twenty years wondering why she doesn't fit in. While her sailing academy rivals thrive, Bird is a beautiful disaster. Or...maybe just a disaster, period.

When a mysterious message arrives from the brother she thought was dead, Bird realizes there's a reason she doesn't belong. Her brother has the answer-and he may be the only person who does. But to get to him, she'll have to cross a deadly ocean ravaged by harrowing storms, bloodthirsty pirates, and dark political secrets.

Determined to make the voyage, Bird bribes her surly mentor, Sargo, for help. He's two years older, already a captain, and everything Bird is not: a strong sailor, level-headed, admired. But his confident mask is hiding pain. As their journey plunges them into life-threatening situations that force them rely on each other, their opposite personalities clash...sparking powerful feelings neither of them expected.

A first mate and her captain. A world determined to break them.

Bird will do anything to get answers about her past. Sargo is facing his own inner turmoil. Can they teach each other to survive in this world? Or will they be dragged into the abyss?
