In this seafaring fantasy, a soft-spoken and empathic teen must chart her own course to rescue the ruthless pirate who raised her
If thereâs one thing Thea Fowler has learned from her mother, itâs that the only way for a woman to survive in a manâs 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 motherâs ruthlessness and grit.
After a lifetime of being told she is a disappointment, Thea longs to escape life under her motherâs thumb. And when she falls for a handsome sailor named Bauer, she thinks sheâs found her chance at a new life. But itâs not long before first love leads to first betrayal, and Thea learns that thereâs more than one way to be strong.
