Captain Danae Shepherd and her crew of Alex’s Legacy set out to rescue Shima Oryang’s niece from a slave-run factory in Bangkok, but their quest turns deadly when Shima is abducted. Now with her best friend missing, her helmsman in a coma, and a military captain determined to keep her on a short leash, Danae must battle the horrors from her past before she can summon the courage to confront the human traffickers who are holding Shima captive.
Like a small stone tossed into a big pond, Danae’s influence expands like ripples as her determination to save one orphan becomes a dangerous mission to liberate them all.
