It’s 1718, and Jane Glass enjoys the wind in her hair, the salty spray in her face, and her independence thumbing its nose at colonial society. As a ratline climber, she enjoys an equal vote and voice as the men—a boon she wouldn’t have anywhere but on a pirate ship. She’s the daughter of the notorious Captain Glass of the Petunia Fair until a naval ship captures them in battle, ending Captain Glass's career.
Why stick around to become the naval ship’s doxie or worse, be married to a landlubber when she can throw herself overboard? Jane dives off the Crow’s Nest and into the tentacles of a sentient octopus. Will Atlas’s attempt to give her gills take her life or give her the ultimate freedom from societal expectations? Will Jane find it in her heart to give him the chance to prove he’s her fated mate and perfect for her, or will she choose a subservient status in the human world?
