Maud Blyth signed up for adventure, but she didn’t mean this. Tasked with escorting an elderly woman across the Atlantic, Maud instead finds her charge murdered on day one of the voyage. Now she’s stranded on an ocean liner with a corpse, a talking parrot, a ship full of suspects, and one dangerously captivating ally.
Enter Violet Debenham: scandalous actress, talented magician, and everything Maud should avoid. Together, the two must navigate murder, magic, and mounting desire while chasing down a powerful object that’s worth killing for.
Trapped at sea, masks will slip, alliances will fracture, and every revelation cuts closer to the truth. To survive, Maud must risk more than her life—she must risk her heart. Who said adventure was safe?
