In a world under the thumb of an empire, pirates sail away searching for a breath of freedom. But even the ocean is tainted by the powerful nation that has spread lies about women being bad luck at sea.

Glenlivet has never cared about the fear-mongering. Her ship welcomes those who are rejected and need a home.

For all the sailor s superstitions and "codes" of piracy the captain mocks every day, not leaving the docks when it's dark is a personal boundary she swears by ever since acquiring The Outsider about eight years ago.

She just might have to break her own rules to protect her crew, escape the claws of a king who wants her dead, and murder the man who raised her.
