tHE SALT AND SWORN
Coming May 17, 2026
Ten years aboard a pirate ship. One goal: escape.
When Rivi finally earns her freedom, she’s ready for monsters. She’s not ready for Ezra — a charming, infuriating healer with a hidden agenda and a crew headed straight for her homeland. The price of passage is simple: steal a ship from the emperor’s marina.
But the most dangerous thing isn’t the heist, the monsters, or even the sea. It’s the way Ezra looks at her, like she’s worth more than what they made her, like he’d burn the empire down just to have more time to prove it.
She knows better than to take a favor from a stranger.
Some gambles can’t be taken back.
“Home was not a person or a place, but a feeling I couldn’t get back.”
