Dive into this New York Times bestseller, a thrilling, romantic, and action-packed pirate saga that’s perfect for fans of Powerless and Heartless Hunter. ​

Seventeen-year-old pirate Aster Oberon faces a stunning new reality, gifted with a magical ability that she’s struggling to master. Worse, both she and Will—the Nightweaver who has captured her heart—have been cursed. In mere weeks, they will become ferocious Underlings, creatures forced to serve the evil Morana. The only way to break the curse is by procuring Morana’s blood.

To track down the cure, Aster teams up with both Will and Titus, the infuriatingly handsome prince of the Eerie who secretly aims to overthrow his royal family’s tyrannical reign. The trio’s journey takes them to Castle Grim, where danger is around every corner, and no one is who they seem. Between deadly dinners, extravagant balls, and shifting desires toward Will and Titus, Aster will have to keep her blades at the ready and determine who she can rely on before the ticking clock of her curse runs out. 

This ultra-romantic, ultra-exciting follow-up to Nightweaver is filled to the brim with mind-bending twists, swoon-worthy moments, and more adventure than a pirate could have ever expected.

From NOVL Nation

“It has all the best tropes and I’m loving the action, worldbuilding, tension, and magic. Also, hot girl pirates! Nothing better than a badass FMC.”

–Briana, @brianas_booknook

“If you also had a crush on both Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, love vampires, and binge watched Downton Abbey, pick up this book immediately. It was spooky, it was gothic, it was romantic, it had pirates and ball gowns and magic, and I devoured it in less than 24 hours… This book has a sassy and stabby heroine filled with rage, close sibling bonds, political intrigue, and the swooniest enemies to lovers, slow burn, forbidden romance ever. Go read it immediately!”

–Shani, @shanisshelves

“The story intertwines action and intrigue in the best way. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.”
