A young woman caged in rock and salt will rise as something the world has forgotten.
Enslaved in the pearl-diving caverns of Jeju,a nameless young woman survives on nothing but prying oysters and the sisterhood of the women beside her. Every day is the same—shells cracked open, pearls stolen for masters who own their labor and their silence.
When a ship arrives and a pirate captain with storm-blue eyes saves her, everything she believes about her small, brokenlife begins to unravel. He carries secrets bound in blood and a bone-deep loyalty to a crown.
Something ancient is stirring beneath seven kingdoms bound by seven seas—old gods, older debts, and a war that never truly ended.
A woman with no name may be the only thing standing between salvation and ruin. Freedom was only the beginning. Now she must become what she was always meant to be.
A romantasy of stolen names, ocean-deep secrets, and a love written into the bones of the world.
