In this prequel to WINDFALL, Liana Foley begins a journey of self-discovery that turns a lost princess into a pirate captain.
After the king and queen of Caerwyn are killed in a coupe, their children escape to the Island colony of Madzetal. Liana and her brother Ivan are adopted by the Foley family. As a scrappy almost-sixteen-year-old, she's spent her life struggling to fit in like her foster sister, Nellie. When Liana acts out, Ivan and their foster father decide that she needs friends in higher places.
Liana is introduced to Asha Ganem, history enthusiast and the daughter of a controversial member of the Island Council. As they comb through the tense aftermath of colonization, young romance takes hold of the girls. It sends them on a journey to find their place in a world that doesn't quite fit either of them. But the further down the way they go, the clearer it is that their lives are set on much different paths.
