Nari is settling into her role as queen of Evernigh, while Paisley Crossway boards the Vesper destined for the mythical Isle of Ashlocke to find out more about their parents. Paisley finds adventure—and love—on the high seas, but when Nari gets premonitions about Paisley's journey, she and Elleck must figure out how to stop what's coming, before the new danger Paisley has awakened destroys all of Evernigh.
Rowan Aurum is sick of walking in his brother's shadow, and a trip to a mysterious island sounded like just what he needed to rid himself of his lingering feelings for Nari. He never imagined he'd end up captured by the famed and dreaded pirate crew of the Despair, nor that he would fall head over heels for another feisty female who might break his heart.
The Isle of Ashlocke is shrouded in mystery for a reason, and the Crossway sisters and Rowan are all about to find out why—but their best hope for survival lies where they least expect it.
