My name is Bird Howsley, and I’m a beautiful disaster.

Okay, maybe just a disaster, period.

In a drowning world where the ocean is law, I’ve spent twenty years struggling to survive. My rivals at the academy are thriving, but I’m one bad decision away from watching my whole life go under.

But two days ago, a message arrived from the brother I thought was dead. He knows things about my past. Secrets that might explain why I’ve never fit in in this world. The problem is…to find him I have to cross an ocean that kills people like me for sport. Storms that swallow ships whole. Pirates who'd gut me for the boots on my feet. Political secrets dark enough to drown an empire.

I can't do it alone.

But if I can bribe my mentor to come with me...

Sargo Paz — two years older, already a captain. Hell — already a legend. Strong. Steady. Brutal when he has to be. He doesn’t say much, but I know there's more going on behind that hot, confident mask than he lets on.

Did I say hot? I didn't mean hot. He's just a mentor. I definitely don't have sex dreams about him.


The Thalassic Series is a new adult dystopian epic for the girls who grew up loving Divergent and Pirates of the Caribbean and graduated to Us Dark Few and Bloody Black.

WARNING: this burn is so slow it will wreck you. The series gets darker and spicier with each book.
