The sea is no longer quiet. The dragons have returned—and with them, war.
Shipwife Meas and the black ship Tide Child sail into stormy waters when they discover a hidden cargo of dying slaves. What begins as a rescue turns into a brutal unraveling of secrets, dragging Meas and her crew into a conspiracy that could fracture the Hundred Isles.
Honor is a slippery thing, especially on a ship manned by criminals, outcasts, and the damned. As tides shift and loyalties are tested, the crew must choose: uphold what’s right, or survive what’s coming.
With sea dragons soaring overhead and enemies closing in, the stakes rise with every crashing wave.
Will the Tide Child ride the storm—or be shattered beneath it?
