Synopsis

Truth is more dangerous than fiction…in this exhilarating upper YA fantasy that will capture fans of Shadow and Bone and Dark Water Daughter

In ancient times, the Elder Wrights breathed their magic into the fabric of the seven seas. Now what was once an ocean of plenty is slowly becoming a sea of death, and the Talin—a race of hidden mages—are beginning to starve.

And for the first time ever, one of their own has no magic.

Ostracized by her own people, Nieve is certain that the old stories hide a missing piece of the puzzle. It’s just a matter of unlocking the secret.

But when a stranger comes sailing into their harbor, Nieve’s world is suddenly blown wide open. Now she’s sailing on the seven seas—with a too-charming, swashbuckling pirate, a group of strange misfits, and a woman who claims to be one of the Elder Wrights.

It’s like Nieve is living one of the stories she’s always loved…only now, she’s weaving a legend of her own.

Except that the old tales don’t mention those journeys that end in tragedy, a king’s calculated interference, or a world poised on the tides of death.

And they certainly don’t mention mutineers with a talent for stealing a girl’s heart…and lying all the while.

This book was original and very engaging. I found myself falling into this story within the first chapter with a lot of questions and wonderment, a good mark for the world building of any story because the drive to know more means I am engaged and care about the characters. However, this did slow the base of the book quite drastically for what I was expecting in a YA novel.

This book was original and very engaging. I found myself falling into this story within the first chapter with a lot of questions and wonderment, a good mark for the world building of any story because the drive to know more means I am engaged and care about the characters. However, this did slow the base of the book quite drastically for what I was expecting in a YA novel. I found Nieve to be young woman that I rooted for, she defines herself by her actions and responses to the challenges she has to face and does not let her status as a non magical limit her in the way that others expect her to.

This book was a slow burn romance and slow starting book and up until about 1/3 of the way in did the action really begin. I know this Book One of a series, so in total this may be a smaller part of the series, but I would have liked more action sooner to reflect the last two thirds of the book. The romance was a surprise and so was the ending! I will be back for the next book to see were the romance, action, and world building take me.

Thank you L E Sterling, Entangled Teen, and NetGalley for the ARC of the novel that I read
