The pirates obey.This arrangement has kept Declan from setting foot on these shores for years...until a bit of bad luck forces him to return.But it may prove a lucrative stop, if the rebel's information is true.Find the dagger. Escape this life.But only if this damn stowaway doesn't ruin everything first.____________This high seas tale of deceit, legends, and love delivers a deliciously gray hero, a relatable heroine, and a found family you'll root for.
