In this seafaring fantasy, a soft-spoken and empathic teen must chart her own course to rescue the ruthless pirate who raised her
If thereโs one thing Thea Fowler has learned from her mother, itโs that the only way for a woman to survive in a manโs world is to make herself strong, invulnerable even. Strength, after all, is how Clementine Fowler survived after her world was washed away by ash and lava and became one of the most notorious pirates the world has ever known.
Unfortunately, Thea has inherited none of her motherโs ruthlessness and grit.
After a lifetime of being told she is a disappointment, Thea longs to escape life under her motherโs thumb. And when she falls for a handsome sailor named Bauer, she thinks sheโs found her chance at a new life. But itโs not long before first love leads to first betrayal, and Thea learns that thereโs more than one way to be strong.
