Never trust a pirate.

The Blood Bell tolls, marking the death of the pirate king and the start of the Trials—a heart-stopping competition where the reward is the Bone Crown. Only one contender can claim the coveted island throne; each will gamble life and limb to win.

Captain. Sister. Maiden.
Csilla Abado yearns to prove her strength to the seasoned pirates who balk at her youth and to her elder sister who has always craved Csilla’s captainship. She will risk everything to become the first pirate queen, no matter the cost.

Dealer. Son. Legacy.
Kane Blackwater wants to leave behind the dirty gold and shady trades he’s made to keep his father’s ship, the Iron Jewel, alive. The Trials represent a new beginning—yet rumors of a secret heir are swirling, threatening his hopes of becoming the pirate king.

Stowaway. Daughter. Storm.
Lorelei Penny longs for nothing more than to avenge her mother’s death. Stowing away on the Iron Jewel was supposed to get her closer to the killer, but instead she finds herself caught up in the deadly battle where loyalty and desire collide.

Csilla. Kane. Lorelei. Each on a mission. The sea, however, has other plans. Dark tides are rising, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll surely drown.

Ch 1-8: (view spoiler)[So far I'm really liking this. I'm very intrigued who is going to end up betraying Csilla.. could it be her sister? As for Kane, I like him so far and I have a feeling him and Lorelei will be an item? Maybe? Also I think she's the heir but I need more information. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 9-16: (view spoiler)[I knew that she was the daughter/heir! I freaking knew it. Now I have a feeling Kane knows who she is. I'm also really happy that Csilla was there to save him but not a huge fan of her sister right now. Why do I have the feeling that it was actually her who betrayed her... and not Flynn? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 17-24: (view spoiler)[Yeah now I'm getting behind her sister being the betrayer.. I wouldn't be surprised if she teamed up with Rove. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 25-32: (view spoiler)[Man her sister is freaking predictable. I hope Csilla kills her. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 33-Finish: (view spoiler)[Oh man! This was such a fun adventure. Even though her sister being evil was really predictable. (hide spoiler)]
